ABOUT ME

Advanced music theory meets computer technology. I strive to create musical pieces and audio tracks that conjure lucid imagery and invoke feelings and emotions that leave enduring impressions.

Possessing both academic training and hands-on experience, I am proficient at creating, editing, and integrating music, video, and Foley using industry-standard software (see my Portfolio below).

As a trained pianist (RCM Grade 6) with a ‘good ear’ I have a natural aptitude for identifying and understanding the structure and functionality of various musical elements, as well as broader themes in musical scores and audio tracks. I also have formal training in advanced compositional tools (tuning systems, scales and other chromatic techniques), aleatoric methods, and atonality.

Courses in acoustics have provided me with an understanding of the physics of how sound propagates in different physical environments. In addition, through advanced studies in music theory, aesthetics, and psychology, I have gained an in-depth working knowledge of how music and sound can be leveraged to invoke specific emotions.

I want to create unforgettable experiences through music and sound.

The Watchers

These adventurers have shown skill with sword, mastery of magic, and above all, rare qualities of character. They’ve been chosen to join the ancient order of Watchers, but first they must pass a test of cleverness and mettle. The challenge: recover six crystal shards from six magically protected chambers, wield the six weapons of elemental power on the field of battle, and shape your destiny.
