Music Composition and Production

Welcome to my personal portfolio dedicated to my music. I am a professional and experienced storyteller who weaves together emotion and artistry into every note I write. I am constantly chasing new summits to climb, and I believe that my passion for stories and self-expression, coupled with my ever-growing artistic vocabulary, present a unique opportunity to help others move their audience.

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.

Halloween (2018) - Slasher Horror Study

Featuring a tense scene from the blockbuster film Halloween (2018), this demo reel served as a personal study project to exercise composing music within a specific stylistic context.

This piece was written for a conceptual sci-fi analog horror show. It is intentionally short so as to function as the opening title sequence theme.

"Kissing in a Daydream" is what I consider to be my first truly polished indie record after many amateurish demos. This song features a myriad of accidental (and intentional) references to one of my musical influences: Daft Punk

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.
