Composition for TV/Film/Theatre/Games: Video Samples

In music and sound that supports some kind of linear narrative or imagery, I love contrast and detail. I love evoking feelings and supporting and enhancing mood. Having created music and sound design for live theatre since the start of my career has informed work in the other disciplines.


Game music/audio showreel

I gravitate towards stylish video games, and aim to explore the huge potential of interactive music / sound design and to dig deep into the implementation of it into the game engine. The result is audio that seamlessly supports the action onscreen in a convincing way, no matter what the player does.
