    paper The Villa - Music for Luxury Housing (Website)

    The designer of the complex wanted music that was modern with a luxurious vibe for his website.

    Inspired by the Italian Riviera, his goal was to attract buyers of class and elegance. My inspiration for this piece was centered on the question, what music do you want to hear when you enter the house of your dreams that has a pool, hot tub and spa? Can you see yourself with your Pinot Noir on your balcony overlooking the river? So the music is designed to ground the listener and to give their ear a bit of exploring to do in the space.

    paper Podcast for Law Firm - Woman Run

    A law firm wanted a podcast to celebrate women professionals and leaders in the community. The firm wanted something with a rock 'n roll sound. I composed an intro and outro that is heavy on guitar drawing inspiration from great women in music like Pat Benatar and Heart. I continue to provide leadership in sound and music with every podcast. I also edit the podcasts so the host and guests sound their best. Using RSS I distribute the podcasts to Apple iTunes, YouTube, Spotify and other platforms. Using Gemini AI, I am able to get a transcript of the podcast to use in keyword topics.

    paper Podcast for Zoo - That's Wild!

    The creators of the podcast wanted a fun, wild sound for a podcast with regular animal guests and human guests i.e. zoologists and experts in zoo culture.

    Doing a zoo project opens up a whole world of different instruments to me as a composer. So we have instruments from Africa and India to lend a more exotic sound. I also convinced the staff to scream THAT’S WILD to use in the podcast intro. I continue to do various seasonal promotions for the Little Rock Zoo as well as editing all podcasts for distribution. I use RSS to send the podcasts into Apple, Spotify, YouTube and other platforms. I also use Gemini AI to provide a transcript for the podcast.
