Bespoke FILM SCORING

because library music will never fit this well...

Film scoring is all about creating music that resonates with your project… Each film has a unique narrative and emotional tone, and as an experienced composer, I will collaborate closely with you to understand your vision, storyline, and characters. I would rather you speak to me in terms of drama and action, and what role you need the music to play than ask for something specific. Whether you need a grand orchestral piece, a minimalist ambient score, or anything in between, I will craft music that enhances the audience’s emotional connection with the characters, and elevates the impact your film will have.

Throughout the process, we’ll provide drafts, synced to picture on a platform that allows you to give feedback right there, in the timeline, so that revisions are quick and painless. We want to make sure you are 100% satisfied with the music, and that it aligns perfectly with your creative direction. Our goal is to deliver a custom score that elevates the artistic value of the film, allows audiences to easily connect emotionally to the story, and just sounds cool!

Sound Design

One of the great things about being a musician is the ability to find music in every bang, smash, clatter, pop, and zing you hear. Some call it noise, but it’s the music in the cacophony that makes us know we are on the side of a highway, or in a diner, or sitting by a pond in the countryside. Sound immerses audiences in the world of your story like no other aspect, and unfortunately it is often put off to last minute or left to feel the pains of tightened budgets. We like to begin working with directors and producers as early as possible so we can truly craft masterpieces for their projects. We excel in creating and manipulating audio elements to enhance storytelling and evoke specific emotions. Whether it’s crafting futuristic sound effects for a sci-fi project, designing realistic environments for virtual reality experiences, or adding depth to character interactions in games, expertise will bring your project to life.

We use a blend of industry-standard tools and techniques and cutting edge and experimental technologies to ensure that every sound detail is precisely crafted and integrated seamlessly into your project’s audio landscape, and sounds like something no one has ever heard before.
