Marching On Film Score

🎸 A cinematic theme, now with modern weight and dimension
This track is my enhanced version of a film score theme I worked on. The original was beautiful in its simplicity, but I saw space for more – subtle guitars, layered textures, and depth.

🎬 Originally composed for a film currently in development – now reimagined as a fuller, more immersive version.

🎧 Additional arrangements, guitars, and production by me.

Before and After – Film Theme Enhanced with Modern Elements

Minimalist ambient track with subtle female vocals.

Dream State

My sketchbook of sonic oddities that spans a few decades; from sample-centric OctaMED via Making Waves/SoundForge 4.5 to VST-centric Reason.
I emphasise the "sketchbook" aspect because these are snapshots of creativity that often outstay their welcome with too much repetition and too little progression. They are very far from being finished works but serve to capture the beginnings of ideas that might be developed into finished works in the future. There are no finished works here... only sketches. This is my sketchbook.

After many years of creating music behind the scenes — ghostwriting and producing for others — I was encouraged to finally share my own voice. What you'll hear reflects my eclectic inspirations: from pop, dark ambient, classical, Chinese folk, shoegaze, Mandopop, R&B, EDM, hybrid trap, hip-hop, to ambient, new age, phonk, chillout and lounge. I’ve released several albums across these styles, each one shaped by an evolving emotional and cultural journey.

I collaborate with two extraordinary Chinese tenors, Tian Zhang and Liang Lin, whose voices bring a celestial depth to many of my tracks.

I was previously on SoundCloud but accidentally deleted my account — so here I am again, hoping my former listeners find their way back... and welcoming new ones into my sonic world.
