I’m Here to Say Goodbye | 15-Minute Narrative Podcast Musical
Project Overview:
Lead Music Producer and Arranger for a 15-minute original podcast-style musical. I was tasked with taking raw melodic sketches and voice memos from the writer and expanding them into fully realized, professionally orchestrated musical chapters.

My Role & Deliverables:

Sketch-to-Score Reconstruction: Translated rough vocal and piano demos into diverse arrangements ranging from intimate acoustic ballads to high-energy ensemble pieces.

Thematic Continuity: Developed musical motifs that evolved throughout the 15-minute runtime to reinforce the story’s emotional arc and character development.

Hybrid Production & Mixing: Integrated live-tracked Guitar, Bass, and Banjo with premium orchestral samples to create an “expensive,” stage-ready sound on a podcast-friendly scale.

Vocal-Centric Engineering: Meticulously carved out “vocal pockets” in the mix to ensure the dialogue and lyrics remained the focal point, regardless of the arrangement’s complexity.

Key Outcome:
Successfully delivered a cohesive, narrative-driven audio package that satisfied the writer’s vision while elevating the production value far beyond the initial demo stage. This project serves as a prime example of my ability to “humanize” digital drafts into professional assets.

The Sleep Experiment | Feature Film Score & Hybrid Sound Design

Project Overview:
Lead Composer and Music Producer for the psychological thriller feature The Sleep Experiment. The brief required a sonic palette that blurred the lines between traditional musical score and industrial sound design to mirror the deteriorating mental states of the characters.

My Role & Deliverables:

Hybrid Composition: Blended classical orchestral elements with custom-processed electronic textures to create a claustrophobic, evolving soundscape.

Technical Implementation: Managed complex signal chains in Ableton Live and Logic Pro to create unique “glitch” motifs and non-linear harmonic distortion.

Atmospheric Engineering: Utilized advanced reverb and spatial techniques to create an immersive, unsettling environment that drove the film’s narrative tension.

Professional Delivery: Orchestrated and mastered the full soundtrack for theatrical release, providing comprehensive stem packages for the final post-production dub.

The score was praised for its ability to maintain a constant “vibe” of dread without overwhelming the dialogue a skill I apply to all my theatrical work to ensure the vocals always have the necessary “pocket” to shine.

Lead Composer and Sound Engineer for the award-winning Irish-language horror feature, An Taibhse.

This project required a deeply atmospheric, character-driven score that balanced traditional acoustic textures with modern cinematic tension.

My Role & Deliverables:

Narrative Composition: Developed a recurring thematic language to support the film’s psychological tension and 19th-century setting.

Technical Engineering: Managed the full lifecycle of the score, from initial MIDI prototyping and live instrument tracking (Guitar, Percussion, and Found-Sound) to the final theatrical mix.

Hybrid Production: Blended high-end orchestral libraries with organic, “human” performances to ensure a unique, non-digital sonic identity.

Loudness & Delivery: Provided a fully mastered, theatre-ready score, including stems for final dubbing and atmospheric post-production.

The score was instrumental in the film’s critical success on the festival circuit (including FrightFest London), proving my ability to deliver high-stakes, professional audio packages for long-form narrative media.
