    uniE603 "Gravewatch" — Menu Theme (Audio Proposal)
    A 52-second atmospheric cue composed as a proposal for the main menu theme of Gravewatch, an upcoming horror/survival title to be released on Steam. Crafted to set the tone from the first screen, this piece explores textural tension and eerie sonic space, avoiding traditional melody in favour of layered ambience and slow-building dread. The music evokes isolation, decay, and the creeping uncertainty of what lies ahead—inviting players into a haunted world where survival is far from guaranteed.
    uniE608 "In The Nick of Time" — Original Score
    A pulse-driven original score for In the Nick of Time, a short film inspired by Run Lola Run. This fast-paced story follows a college student caught in a time loop, racing through alternate paths to make it to class on time—only to find that fate (and unread messages) have a sense of humour. The music plays a pivotal role in sustaining the film’s momentum across multiple iterations, evolving subtly with each loop to reflect shifting outcomes and mounting urgency. The score blends electronic textures with rhythmic motifs, underscoring both the chaos of the run and the comedy of inevitability.
    uniE608 GNG — Original Pop Song
    This project involved the creation of an original pop song featuring bass, drums, piano, and voice, accompanied by a music video. The song's structure was crafted with a strong emphasis on melodic development, blending catchy melodies. Collaborating with a talented lyricist, we aimed to produce a straightforward pop song that resonates with listeners. The music video was created using stock footage, visually capturing the essence of the song and enhancing the overall experience.
    uniE608 "Jálele, No Se Apene" — Short film
    Collaborated with a film director to compose and produce an original reggae soundtrack for a short film with a cannabis-centric theme. After detailed discussions, we agreed that reggae’s relaxed yet rhythmic style perfectly captured the film’s essence. In addition to composing the music, I partnered with the director to record custom sound elements, including bong rips and other on-set noises, using professional recording equipment. These personalized audio details were seamlessly integrated with the score, creating a cohesive and immersive soundscape that elevated the film’s atmosphere and storytelling. The result was a bespoke soundscape that not only enhanced the film’s mood but also brought its unique vision to life.
    uniE608 "Las Serpientes" — Stop-Motion Short Film
    For this project, I composed the music for a stop-motion short film that blends elements of comedy and tragedy, described by the director as a tragicomedy. The references provided were trippy and synesthetic, guiding me to create a unique auditory experience that complements the whimsical and slightly surreal narrative of the film. The music enhances the visual storytelling, adding depth and character to the scenes, while maintaining a playful yet poignant tone. stopmotion shortfilm scoring soundtrack sounddesign
    uniE608 Music and Visuals for a Puff Jacket Commercial
    For this project, I composed the music for a fictional commercial promoting a winter puff jacket. The commercial showcases people using the jacket in various winter scenarios, such as ski resorts, snowboarding, and as a stylish part of their outfits. To complement the visuals, I selected cold textures for the music to evoke the crisp, high-altitude air of the mountains. The genre chosen was Drum and Bass (DnB) to infuse the commercial with the dynamic energy of winter sports, enhancing the overall appeal and excitement of the jacket.
    uniE603 "Winchester Mystery" — Original composition
    This project involved composing an original jazzy piece inspired by Sarah L. Winchester, the widow of firearms magnate William Wirt Winchester, and her enigmatic residence, the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. The composition reflects the eerie and historical ambiance of the mansion, which became a tourist attraction shortly after Winchester's death in 1922. The piece is divided into two parts: Part A captures the essence of Sarah Winchester's life before becoming a widow, while Part B portrays the atmosphere of the mansion and her life thereafter. The jazzy style was chosen to evoke a sense of nostalgia and mystery, aligning with the timeline and the haunting aura of the Winchester Mystery House.
    uniE603 "Fight for the Waterhole" — Musical Interpretation
    This composition exercise required creating a musical piece inspired by a visual work. I chose the painting "Fight for the Waterhole" by Frederic Remington, evoking the dramatic and intense atmosphere of the depicted scene. Embracing the cowboy theme, I drew inspiration from "American Venom" by Woody Jackson, featured in the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. The piece portrays the conflict between cowboys and Indians battling for a waterhole in the middle of the desert. To capture the era's essence, I incorporated a banjo and added percussion to impart a military feel, enhancing the tension and drama of the scene.
    uniE603 "Forty Seven" — Piano & Bass Composition
    This project involved composing a simple yet expressive original piece for piano and bass. The composition focuses on creating a harmonious blend between the two instruments, showcasing a balance of melodic and rhythmic elements. The piece is designed to highlight the interplay between the piano and bass, delivering a cohesive and engaging musical experience.
    uniE608 "Seguro de Muerte" — Short Film
    Composed an original score for a horror short film, delivering a unique interpretation that emphasizes atmosphere and unease. My work incorporates diegetic sounds like hospital beeping and breath noises, blending them seamlessly with a textured musical backdrop. By utilizing strings to evoke a sinister, devilish tone, I created an unsettling soundscape that heightens the tension and complements the film’s hospital/death-bed setting. Additionally, I composed a haunting melody for the credits, providing a reflective conclusion. This score was created as an alternative version, distinct from the final cut of the film.
