Being a kid in the 1980s, I had a passion for cinema and always wanted to be a filmmaker. What I had not foreseen was that I would develop an even stronger passion for film scores. I started taking piano lessons in 1986, not knowing then that I would start composing music in 1995, which would lead to scoring a number of independently-produced game projects, to two church stage plays, and inevitably making music for independent films in the 2000s and early 2010s. My most recent credit is "Operation Friendship" (2025) by DBM Films. Although I've scored numerous indie films, games, and animations, the works that seem to be what I'm most known for were my soundtrack composed for the feature-length Legend-of-Zelda fan-film, "The Hero of Time", and my Setu Firestorm digital rock works - of which the singles "The Fade" and "Momentum" were featured in a handful of indie music games.

    paper Setu Firestorm Remixes

    A compilation album of remix contests I participated in, where I took only vocal stems and composed my own music around them, comprised of an array of different Rock styles (Alternative Rock, Punk Rock, Hip-Hop Rock fusion, Synth Rock, Pop Rock, Metal, Acoustic). Only in “Hard Drugs in the Dark” did I use two existing instrument stems from the original song; with all others, the music is 100% original.
