I craft my music around your stories. I love telling stories with music so therefore, I love composing music to other people’s images, stories and games. I have for years worked as both a composer and collaborator, and performing musician for a series of Japanese Noh plays, crafted here in New Zealand. I have a passion for Asian sounds and love creating atmospheric moods intertwined with whatever rhythmic components are required for the final product. I believe I would contribute a lot to your project
