    Original score for Trail of Light, a contemplative journey through the steps of the world’s creation, inspired by an old Pawnee legend.

    The music is written for orchestra with a strong focus on sweeping thematic material, gradual emotional development and a sense of scale. Built around memorable melodic ideas and broad orchestral textures, the score moves between intimacy and grandeur, supporting the film’s spiritual and reflective tone while giving the journey a clear musical identity.

    paper Bullion - Retro Cop Show Title Credits

    Original intro music for Bullion, a retro-themed cop show with a contemporary 70s-leaning soundtrack.

    The cue combines funk-influenced rhythm section writing, bold hooks and cinematic crime-drama energy, drawing on the language of classic police and detective scores while keeping the production sharp and modern. Written to establish the show’s tone quickly, the music gives Bullion a confident, stylised identity built around momentum, attitude and period-inspired colour.
