This score, for the last seven and a half minutes of F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic "Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror," was composed as part of my senior honors thesis at Oberlin College and Conservatory. My score is written for a large string orchestra, with some additional electronic processing.

I am proud to release this cover of Periphery's absolutely killer jam from their most recent record, "The Way the News Goes..."! What a challenge and joy it was to arrange such an intricate, detailed and creative composition for a solo instrument and two hands :) I hope you enjoy - please let me know what you think and SHARE if you dig it!

My remix and remaster of Belgian band Leaf's song "Come Around." Absolutely love the vocal performance on this one - tried to keep the final mix warm and organic. :)

My version of 'Red' by Taylor Swift, my fav song off the new album! Yes, I actually do listen to Taylor Swift. 

This is mainly instrumental rock/metal, with symphonic touches, and a djent break at the end. A note about the djent break: I'm not THAT sloppy of a player! For some reason one of the four rhythm tracks kept getting displaced when I exported (but would appear normal when I went to the original project file). Really weird, and very annoying to say the least. Hope you can get past that and enjoy this a little bit!
