Dissociate

Improvised this with a single omnidirectional microphone....not gonna redo it because it's what came to me at that moment and I think it captures that I'm happy where I am right now in life :)

Ominous

Had a snowpocalypse at my school today, so instead of focusing on homework I did something much better with my time: film composition :)

PLEASE give me feedback. I'm so new at this.

Impending Snow Flurries

Say Something (A Great Big World Piano Cover)

Just a little song I wrote to help spring come sooner!

Doodle #5 (Spring)

deflection

imagine in intense anxiety...hypervigilant. Rapid breaths. Then you find yourself taking deep breaths. Everything is okay.

The Doodle series is still going strong! Here's a quick improv I did the other day....yes some imperfections, but us as humans are all like that...so I'll keep this piece honest and imperfect. Cheers!

Doodle #6: Pierce

accept

Opening up. Pause. Breath. Studying. Anticipation. Hope. Awe.

consider

Haunting. Newness. Possibility. Uncovering more. More flow. Determination. Realization.

discover

Curiosity. Hesitation. Continuation. Building confidence. Excitement. Wonder. Flow-state. Forward motion.

This is the New Year (A Great Big World Cover)

I've been listening to SO much Cavetown and have been wanting to try a song with uke. This song concept happened in like 30 minutes and I'm working on the finesse now!

Nonbinary Polyamorous Boy [demo]

Sweater Weather Piano Cover

There's a calm and muffled silence whenever it snows....I recorded this while it was a blizzard outside!

Doodle #7 (Snowfall Silence)

music to remember 
music to release
music to wail
the song of grief

music to listen
music to learn
music to be soft
music to stand firm

remember and release

Didn't complete this track in time to submit it to the Mesh challenge, but still wanted to share! Had a blast coming up with my own take. I notice it's Poppy Ackroyd-esque with the piano being a main component, but I did mess around with samples to create a few different parts of the track that worked with some of the original stems.

Winter Song (Sara Bareilles Cover)

My wife wrote this amazing slice of life book and I'm learning how to write more orchestral pieces as if this book was to be a film. 

If you wanna read the book, you can get it here! https://amzn.to/3OyBBQS

Contemplation - BBWB Soundtrack

Cyra Morgan lent the world her beautiful voice and I am honored to add some of my interpretation to her lovely song. I added a bit of the Scottish tune 'Loch Lomond' ...because I felt it fit quite nicely. Hope you enjoy! Thanks again, Cyra :)


New Day (Collab w/ Cyra Morgan)

The first composition of my summer collection called "Parts". I'm starting with piano, and then each new composition will keep the theme, but with different instrumental textures...and maybe even some lyrics. So this is the basic backbone. Enjoy!...and as always, I appreciate any feedback.

Reminiscence

An improv that involves symmetry. If you are stumped on what that symmetry is...inbox me :)

We Are Young (Female Duet Fun. Cover)

New composition I wrote using the delay effect! :D

Doodle #3 (Breathe)

I wrote this for a short film that's being created in London...I'll add more information about it when it's released like the web link and such! 

This being my first film composition, I placed the film with no noise in front of me while I completely improvised over top of it. I feel like once I develop my style and learn how to add more parts to my songs, I'll love for soundtrack composition to be a side job for me!
