Industry Experience

    uniE603 Intrasolar - Game Theme
    Crafted with precision for visual storytelling, this piece sits comfortably in game soundtracks, trailers, or introspective short films.
    uniE603 Latin Project - Sample
    A 30 second commercial pitch, aimed at a more lively and upbeat picture. It is sampled from from one of my own works which is an elongated version of the latin groove.
    uniE608 Film Rescore: The Matrix (Fight Scene)
    A rescore for The Matrix, that blends cinematic intensity, driving energy of dance music and the depth of orchestral textures. The piece layers sweeping strings and bold brass with rhythmic electronic elements and percussive drive, creating a soundscape that captures both the film’s futuristic atmosphere and its raw, kinetic momentum. film composer producer video
