Roger Gwall

Hello future friend/collaborator/co-worker/film-buddy!... My name's Roger, a second year grad at NYU Screen Scoring.

Quick story -- I started composing for film and documentaries in 2021 when I was still an undergrad physics major, studying in a small town in Wisconsin. It was a crazy move, but with my background in piano and the tremendous support from my guitar professor, I went on this crazy journey of being a composer, which surprisingly has been going quite well.

I'm a huuuge music enjoyer, and I have extreme passion for playing instruments. My writing is highly inspired by the things I listen to, and the things I play.

Anyways... you get the idea : D   Whatever stuff you want, I'm up for it. Traditional stuff, I can get it done. Non-traditional weird stuff? I'm your guy! I'm super easy to work with, according to the directors that I worked with in the past. Many of them came back to me for a second/third project. I'm fluent on the piano and guitar; can play and record trumpet, bass, drum, and a little bit of bone flute; extremely familiar with multiple sample libraries and have been actively mixing different sorts of music -- meaning that I write and produce fairly quickly, if you happen to be in a hurry.

Please shoot me a quick email if you are interested in working together, thanks!

Or just talk about stuff, that's cool as well : D

Best,

Roger
