SOUNDTRACK SPOTLIGHT:
Earlier this year, I was given the opportunity to score Keith Fingers's dark crime short film, Gus Diablo: Dying Laughing. In this track, I incorporated sounds of knives and echoey bars of metal to evoke the uneasy, danger ahead.

The demo of Casino Coral is now out on Steam for you to try. I've had the pleasure of working on this project as the Audio Director. A fun refreshing card game experience complete with coral snake lore.

Since 2004, the children's book Gingerbread Jimmi: Magical Storybook has been a tradition for families in Utah and abroad. In the spirit of Christmas in July, I was asked to write a new track for it called, "Polaris" which is a symphonic instrumental. Streaming links in comments.

As Memorial Day approaches, I'd like to share a piece that I wrote a few years ago in tribute to my father in 2023. Although he's gone now along with others who've passed on, they will live on in our hearts and memories. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.

A transcription to the "Fly Like Iron Man" scene from The Martian, composed originally by Harry Gregson-Williams. This features the low orchestral instruments, strings and synths that evoke a suspenseful, cosmic danger.

Better late than never... I released a new review video for Cubase 15. Now that Steinberg fixed the issue of custom logical editor presets, I'm happy to promote this new update! Included are my favorite things about it.

OLYMPICS THEME - I decided to challenge myself to transcribe and arrange this famous tune which I've always wanted to since I decided to become a composer. Bugler's Dream & Olympic Fanfare composed by Leo Arnaud and John Williams.

Happy holidays! Here's another John Williams transcription that I did for fun. This time, Home Alone 2 Opening Titles music which is a medley of the main themes in the movie. Christmas themed and nostalgic in so many ways!

Well the cats out of the bag! Murder at the Embassy just came out today on Apple TV & Amazon. I was fortunate to be part of the music department as additional music writer. Shout to composer Christian Davis for having me on this one.

In honor of Halloween, I'd like to share a dark, dystopian version of Golden (KPop Demon Hunters) that I've arranged. Features a hybird-orchestra with trailer drums. This was a lot of fun to put together!

As Halloween approaches, here's a spine-tingling soundtrack I've written. For this one I imagined a menacing terror emerging from below... dark souls and ravaging specters seeping out from the depths of the underworld. Enjoy!
