Fantasy Scores

Brave

This is the song that plays in How to Train Your Dragon, during the part when Hiccup is first learning to ride Toothless. Those few minutes are without a doubt my favorite part of the whole movie (plus the music is just awesome). This cover is done similarly to my other recordings, but with a slight twist: one piano part and...*drumroll*...TWO violin parts. 

This cover is a modified version of the song "Test Drive" from the soundtrack, composed by John Powell, featured in Dreamworks' awesome movie, How to Train Your Dragon.

Into The Open Air

Stoick Saves Hiccup

Because my wife is such a fan of Disney and fairytales, I wanted to experiment with the fantasy genre. The use of the Scottish harp is my tribute to Dreamworks' "How To Train Your Dragon" and Pixar's "Brave."

Coffee addict with a passion for video games, film, TV, and books... basically any form of storytelling. Love listening to new music and learning about new artists.  

As far as my music background goes, I was the drummer and a founding member for a band called Breathing Machine back in the late 90's. We recorded 3 albums, one with a national label. Since then I received a BA in Film/Video Production from Columbia College Chicago, composed for several short films including a documentary, nonprofit AIDs commercial, and "Second Chance," winner of the Silver Remi in the Experimental genre at the World Fest Houston Film Festival.
Now I'm living in Los Angeles pursuing a career in digital composing for visual media. If you're interested in collaborating on a piece for your project, would like to purchase or license my music, or have any other questions, message me and we'll talk. Also, I appreciate constructive feedback, so stop by and say hello.
