I specialize in creative music and sound design for animation commercial work and short films that match the motion design, creating a more organic sound than stock tracks allow. Shoot me an Email if you have any questions or if you'd like to discuss a project!

Client: Nolan Downs. Really fun short film where I was given the freedom to match each unique character with dynamic sound. Nolan really wanted sound to accentuate each movement with the eye dictating how a lot of the audio builds momentum. (Featured short on Moscow Shorts, Flatpack, Fest Anca, Pictoplasma)
Client: Olipop. The team wanted vintage 80's style synth music to match the new flavor. Animation from Mike Gaynor, direction from Gabriel Long and Break Maiden, and a great production from the team at BL&S. (full credits in Vimeo link)
Client: Rohan McDonald. ROOMS is a print and film project that explores the connections between mental and physical spaces through conversation, illustration, design, and animation. (Featured Vimeo Staff Pick, Goodmoves.tv)
