Hi, I’m Jarrett Blust, an aspiring audio engineer and music/audio production student with experience in sound design, audio editing, cue implementation, music production, and collaborative media projects. I thrive in creative environments and enjoy turning concepts into immersive soundscapes for theater, games, and multimedia productions.
I am proficient in DAW-based workflows and have hands-on experience supporting theatrical productions, live performances, and interactive media settings. I’m seeking an audio engineering internship where I can contribute technical, creative, and organizational skills in a professional production environment.
Composed in Summer of 2026 “Saudade” is an atmospheric piece meant to evoke a longing, lonely, and nostalgic feeling. It is simple melodically and rhythmically but has some semi advanced harmony and overall is a spacey and emotional work.
I Am With You was composed in the fall of 2025 as a project to practice and hone orchestral writing skills. This piece features fast-paced rhymes, orchestral textures, counter melodies, tone shifts, and much more. The title “I Am With You” was given to the work as a reference to Jarrett’s Catholic faith to match the piece’s overall hopeful and heroic tone. One of the standout features of the orchestration is the piano; there are long, flowing runs, interesting, colorful melodies, and complementary rhythms to the rest of the orchestra. Moreover, the French Horn parts are also a standout feature, as the parts are high ambient, contrasting, and reinforce the overall presentation of the piece.
The Forklift (Un)Certified soundtrack! Forklift (Un)Certified is a video game that the computer science department here at Eastern Kentucky University has been working on. I was brought on board to compose, mix, and master a handful of tracks for the project. This includes a title theme and level music.
Suzette’s Soliloquy was composed in the fall of 2024 for the purpose of fulfilling a character theme for the production “No Room for Heroes." The character in question is Suzette, a French woman who comes from a troubled background as a bank robber and mother. The piece demonstrates her character’s questionable motives while also retaining the humanity and contemplation of her choices throughout the course of the narrative. This orchestral work features a somber tone with orchestration that slightly differs from what you might come to expect from the traditional symphonic style. This includes the celesta, cello solos, and dissonant choir. Harmonically, the piece is in C major; however, it features a plethora of modal mixture, most notably the minor iv chord (F minor) in the introductory segment of the piece. Melodically, the piece remains simple yet with tasteful repetition to cement the motive within the audience.
This is a project that I composed in the fall of 2024 for the play/production titled “No Room For Heroes." The play was a western and a mystery; thus, in the compositional process, I wanted to capture that to the best of my ability. This particular clip is a snippet from the main theme, which features a bevy of Western-inspired orchestration, including electric and acoustic guitars. strings, brass, and much more!
Composed in the spring of 2025, Unrequited was a piece written to encapsulate the feeling of something that is unreciprocated. The orchestration includes only a solo piano to match this unique feeling. The piece begins with fast rhythms. Softer dynamics and erratic harmony. As it progresses, it becomes more settled, slower, and more melodic, allowing it to take shape. At the end of the piece, all the melodic ideas that have been introduced or restated are harmonized and finished to leave a lasting impression on the listener.
