FILM SCORING

For the past 25 years I've been arranging and composing for Big Bands, Orchestra, and Small groups ranging in music genres. 

I earned my General Music Studies designation from Berklee College of Music studying Orchestral Arranging, Jazz Arranging and Composing for Film & TV.

Sound Stage Recording

As a musical director for 20 years I have both in studio and live sound stage recording experience, directing and producing both small groups and large orchestras of various instrumentation.   

Sheet Music Edits

Arranger and Composer

My skills as a writer allows me to fill an array of positions including sole composer, composer`s assistant, copyist, arranger, partial composer, and producer.  

Music Studio

Software DAW Programs

For non live studio music I work with Finale,Pro Tools and or FL Studios to produce my music tracks in house prior to submission to directors and editors.

Writing Process

After detailed and accurate collaboration with all project executives I begin the creating process by writing a series of themes on paper to identify with the different moods and scenes as discussed. Once I have the basic musical flow of the project I then shift to my notation software to begin orchestrating the music, testing with different instrumentation combinations, and musical styles. If required I will research any unique or specialty instruments to reflect the films geographical or time period setting. After completing a first draft of some or all of the films music I will generate a mock listening track and submit it for review and continue that process until all parties involved are sanctified. Every film will have a different style and feel in nature therefore careful attention must be taken in order to provide the best out come for each project at hand.

Below are short demo samples demonstrating my work.
