    The Long Dig


    I created the atmospheric soundtrack to The Long Dig, a post apocalyptic sci-fi short film about a group of scavengers scouring a ruined urban landscape for technological remnants amid a toxic, hallucinogenic mist. The soundtrack features a quartet-style string score over a backdrop of deep, desolate synths and electric guitar.

    Echo Chamber

    I wrote the title theme and soundtrack for TV Trope’s web series, Echo Chamber (click the link to watch). The soundtrack often evolved from episode to episode, to suit the gimmicks behind the “trope of the week”—cool sax and jazz kits for the noir episode, surreal bells and dooming electronics for the interdimensional episode, etc—but typical orchestrations consisted of simple piano and keyboard driven leitmotifs. Meanwhile, the show’s main theme rocks the way only a hard ensemble of guitars, saw-tooth synth waves, a vibraphone, and rhythmic record scratches ever could.
