    uniE621 Music Composition - Short Films
    For each short film I've worked on, whether I'm creating soundtrack or both music and sound design, I craft a unique audio palette that fits each film like a glove. Every choice is made in order to serve the story, to enable the creative vision of the filmmaker to fully connect with the audience, so that they're still thinking about the story long after the credits roll.

    uniE621 Straight & Narrow - Documentary & installation at Saatchi Gallery, London
    For this documentary displayed as part of an installation at the Saatchi gallery, I wanted to let the music act as an extension and echo of George's artwork.
