    uniE608 命の流れ (Flow of Life)
    This is a rescore to the documentary.
    uniE608 Colossus
    This is a trailer music for Spitfire Audio. I'm using a synth-heavy phonk style approach on this piece. Hope you enjoy it! trailer trailermusic phonk synthesizer spitfireaudio edm electronicmusic video logicprox
    uniE608 The Scissor
    This is an animated story about the growth of an unremarkable, diligent, and somewhat socially phobic young man, with a touch of innocent romance included. Had a good time working with this excellent animator, and finished my score (and its revisions) in merely 2 hours. animation animator animationmusic filmscoring video logicprox

    uniE608 Till Next Time
    Till Next Time is a short film telling the story of a bittersweet relationship. I wrote two cues for this film: one at the moment when they flashback to the time when they're in love with each other; and another one extended to the end credit that is more bitter, echoing with the title of the film. filmdirector shortfilm filmscore filmmusic
