COMPOSER | PRODUCER | SOUND DESIGNER
Whispering Feathers From Afar:
A new live action psychological drama, short film.
I scored the trailer and film ,which you can watch above.
For this film, i mainly used orchestral instrumentation and occasional synth layers to capture the emotions of the film and give certain scenes surrealist touches. Working with the filmmaker to compose a score he loved and fit the emiotions he wanted to convey.
Runner:
This compositional work was for animator DOPFLAM's latest short film, which blends a surrealist world with body horror. For this project I provided a heavier guitar based musical pallet utilising various effects, mixed with analogue and digital synth sound design to create a dark ominous vibe.
Eating Two Doughnuts At Midnight:
I composed 4 pieces of music for this collaboration with animator DOPFLAM to provide his short film with some emotional and surreal layers to reinforce the visual storytelling.
Domain:
For this project I collaborated with animator DOPFLAM to provide his short film with a score to set the mood and use the music to help world build this surreal story.
Watch Dogs Trailer Electronic
My Electronic version of music and audio I created for this trailer. Using original sounds created with Logic's stock Synths and Native Instruments Massive. All sound effects and foley made me.
Franky:
I composed the score for animator DOPFLAM's take on Frankenstein, mixed with Cronenberg-esque body horror. This score is Orchestral focused with some synth sound design mixed into certain scenes. A classic Hollywood orchestral style for the action sequences, big brass, tense strings, haunting piano.
I heard from the others (Monster Hunter Wilds parody):
A compositional work was for animator DOPFLAM's videogame parody. For this aniamtion I composed 3 themes one a battle theme, feast theme and the credits theme. I used an orchestral pallet and was influenced by the music of the game.
Vidro Fosco - Matilde Senos
This is a project created by animator Matilde Senos.
For this project I was both a sound designer and composer, I created sounds for the world created by Matilde and then also took the sounds and composed two pieces of music to keep the music and sound design feeling like they are part of the same world building I incorporated the sounds I designed so they shared the same sonic textures for the installation.
"An interactive installation about a fairy’s passionate attempt to connect with someone from a parallel world. A story of connection and kinship."
Watch Dogs Trailer Orchestral
I replaced the audio for this trailer creating an orchestral score, foley and sound design from the ground up. Using Logic's stock VST's. All sound effects and foley made me.
On The Nose:
For this project, my second collaboration with DOPFLAM, I composed the theme song and designed the stinger sound effect. As well as co-writing the sketches.
Basket Head:
This was the first project I collaborated with DOPFLAM on and composed the score.
