MUSIC
SAMPLES
Peace
The Sun Rising is a growing, ethereal melody that slowly increases in vibrancy, like the rising sun. Included are bell tone rhythmic figures and a boys' choir.
Hope
Do Not Lose Faith is a piece that invokes hope. It is a morose but uplifting melody that grows with power, swelling like a burning flame in the darkness that surrounds it.
Nature
The Rolling Hills is a slow and breathy piece, the melody carried gently by the cor anglais. Chordal figures in the low winds and strings create a soft rumbling, personifying the stony earth.
Combat
Cut Them Off is an aggressive piece built on the premise of two opponents duelling. The low strings beat out an ostinato rhythm, with accompanying figures in the horns. The drums and metals create a noisy cacophony of rhythmic patterns to accentuate the aggression. A middle eastern Dizi flutters and shrieks above it all.
Dramatic
Destiny's Door was a piece I composed for the 2014 Bleeding Fingers Composers' Contest, headed by film composer Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers.
Ambience
Ambience Soundscape was written for the title card for an indie game. It is full of ambient synth drones and acoustic guitar to give the piece a haunting quality.
Grief
The Funeral of the Greek Chef's Daughter features the mandolin and shamisen playing a grieving, slow melody over string accompaniment. It tells a story of a Greek chef who mourns the loss of his beloved daughter.
Overcome
Rise Up and Conquer features a slow buildup to a powerful theme that grows throughout the whole piece. The horns soar over ostinato winds and strings, accompanied by driving ethnic and metal percussion.
Charge
Forces of Doom... Charge! The demonic forces of the underworld have come to wreak vengeance and destruction upon the world! Ostinato strings beat out a rhythmic melody played over soaring horns in an ascending line that builds up to the climactic key change of the song, and the entry of the choirs!
Best Foods
This was created for director Spencer Wilson of Northwind Studios for a Best Foods® commercial competition. Our goal was to capture the innocence of the two children making a snack together, "Bringing out the Best."
SimplicityCollect
This was a short jingle I composed for SimplicityCollect Collection Software, part of SeikoSoft Incorporated. I wanted to provide a proressional and simple theme that would resonate with their clients.
It is currently showcased in their online training videos, which can be viewed here.
