Here's an instrumental arrangement of an amazing song, "Pure Imagination" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was based on the arrangement from the much more recent film, and made for fourth- and fifth-grade beginners to sing, hence the extra prominent vocal melody and generally strict tempo.

Pure Imagination (arrangement for elementary school chorus)

Just over here living a dream life of sound and music bliss.

My recording, editing, and mixing work can be heard on:

• features like Moana 2, Zootopia 2, The Way We Speak, and aTypical Wednesday
• AAA games like Genshin Impact
• TV series like Family Guy, Riverdale, Pretty Little Liars, The Orville, Minx, You, The Karate Kid, and Outer Banks
• numerous limited series, short films, and other projects

I've had the privilage of recording musical performances by Justin Timberlake, Weird Al, Kanye, Fergy, Daryl Hall, Frank Sinatra Jr., and Darren Criss, and voice acting performances by Seth MacFarlane, Ginnifer Goodwin, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bryan Cranston, Matt Kemp, Mariah Carey, Ed Asner, will.i.am, Adam West, Jane Lynch, Mickey Rooney, Carl Reiner, Nicki Minaj, Flea, Carrie Fisher, Rush Limbaugh, Kristen Schaal, and so many more.

I've scored some commercials and promotional videos, several short films and webisodes, and the feature film, "Boris and the Bomb".

I run a few little record labels and publishers under the name Badself Media.

And I've played in the Los Angeles Laker Band, performed live with The Rescues and with Fleetwood Mac, been a high school band director, and taught private drum set lessons.
