I’m a composer and new-media A/V artist with experience scoring short-form narrative films, music videos, and hybrid visual works that balance high-energy rhythm with emotional weight. M.A.C.Y. immediately resonates with my practice—especially the tension between synthetic identity, adolescence, and pursuit. My approach to this score would blend punk-driven aggression (distorted synths, raw rhythmic motifs, lo-fi grit) with intimate melodic fragments that track the cyborg’s coming-of-age arc. I’m particularly interested in using evolving sonic textures—mechanical pulses that gradually humanize—as the character’s inner world comes into focus. What I bring: Experience composing for film, A/V installations, and narrative-driven short works Strong command of sci-fi and punk-adjacent sound palettes (analog + digital hybrid workflows) Fast, reliable turnaround with clear communication in remote collaborations Festival-ready delivery standards (clean stems, mixes, and revisions as needed) I work primarily in Ableton Live and integrate sound design directly into composition, allowing action beats and emotional moments to feel organically fused rather than “scored on top.” I’m comfortable delivering 4–6 minutes of cohesive music within a sub-10-minute runtime and iterating quickly based on feedback. I’m fully available remotely and can meet the March 1st deadline without issue. I’d love to discuss tone references, temp tracks (if any), and where you want the music to push versus stay restrained. Happy to share relevant samples upon request. — Tomatse (o3™ / numa.o3)
