About

I compose original music and design sound for film, games, trailers, and video. My focus is cinematic underscore, from restrained ambient textures to electronic tension and suspense.

I also produce, mix, and master music, and edit dialogue for podcasts, interviews, and video. I can reduce hum and background noise, balance voices, and tighten edits while keeping speech natural.

I work in Ableton Live, iZotope RX 11, Ozone 11, and DaVinci Resolve. Hear examples of my original music in the Projects section below. If you have a scene, reference track, or rough recording, send it with a short brief and I can suggest an approach.
