Fantasia Sinfônica No. 1 (2025)

"Fantasia Sinfônica No. 1" is a 5-minute orchestral piece that was submitted to the Alhambra Orchestra's inaugural composer's competition – where it won 2nd place in South Florida. This video is a full run-through of the piece during a sight-reading rehearsal at FIU.

Mechanismos Astrais (2024)

"Mechanismos Astrais" is a piece composed during my undergraduate studies at FIU for piano quartet. It was performed on multiple occasions across South Florida universities.

Harvest Rains (2024)

"Harvest Rains" is another piece written during my undergraduate studies. This impressionistic piece makes use of quartal and quintal harmony to portray an autumn atmosphere.

The Dhak Legacy (2024) from Pathos: Nethack Codex

"The Dhak Legacy" is piece commissioned for a mobile fantasy RPG game called Pathos: Nethack Codex. This work serves as the main menu track for one of the 3 game-modes. It was entirely composed within my home studio and is available for streaming on all platforms.

Rising Thunder (2022) from Armchair Commander

"Rising Thunder" is another piece written for a mobile game. The WW2 strategy game Armchair Commander utilizes this track as the main menu theme before playing. It was also entirely composed within my home studio and is available for streaming on all platforms.

"Greenpoint is Melting" (2025) was the first documentary film I scored. It centers around a predominantly Polish neighborhood in New York City and the resulting fusion of different immigrant cultures there. The film was premiered at FIU's Biscayne Bay campus in a 360° projection room.

These projects are a few of my unfinished drafts scattered over the years. When showcasing one's work, I believe it's important to highlight the evolution an artist takes throughout the course of their career. These demos and rough sketches reflect my creative ambition even at times when experience was still being cultivated. I see them as monuments to my growth and inward glances at unfiltered imagination.
