Discovery Space — Original Score

Composed for a previous project, this hybrid orchestral piece blends strings, brass, percussion and contemporary rhythm section elements.

Written to accompany cosmic imagery — from colliding planets to tranquil deep‑space sequences — the score moves between high‑energy action and reflective, atmospheric moments.

Selected Audio Work

A few examples of recent composition and sound design projects.

Transcillience

Original composition, foley and sound design for an abstract short film by Anthony Brown.

Built around a haunting solo‑cello performance, the score blends atmospheric textures and precise sonic detail to support a narrative about identity, transformation and the uncanny tension of meeting one’s future self.

Look At Me

Original score for an emotionally charged short film by Taylor Smith.

Built around atmospheric, evolving textures, the music follows a couple on the edge of a high‑stakes presentation — capturing the rising tension, self‑doubt and the quiet shift in strength as one partner steps forward when the other breaks under pressure.
