ORIGINAL MUSIC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For me, music is an evolving learning process. As a commercial composer, I always see my work as a collaboration. Sometimes with another musician or artist; sometimes with a partner in another artistic field or production environment. With every client, I seek to contribute to a process in a way that focuses on\u00a0the central vision of the project. Beyond that, when asked to produce original music, I strive for fresh and thematic ideas that provide a unique identity and mood for your project.<\/p>\n

Having composed music professionally for over 40 years, I have covered almost every imaginable style for such media formats as: film, television, video-game (console, Windows, Mac OSX, online, handheld, Apple iOS and other game platforms); website and interactive music-design, artist-development, soundtrack recording, and commercial video.<\/p>\n

Being versatile means having access to a lot of tools – both digitally and those relating to experience and education in a variety of acoustic and electronic musical instruments. I compose in a wide range of styles and instrumentation (live orchestras of all sizes, sampled \/ synthesized instruments, combinations of the two). My music production studio includes\u00a0an extensive virtual instrument library with 1,000’s of instrument sounds to suit any style of music.<\/p>\n

SOUND DESIGN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Great sound design requires more than selecting sound effects from various sound libraries. It requires an ability to conceptualize a unique type of sound a visual element would produce; then the ‘art’ of creating original sound effects comes into play – through the process of field recording, sample-editing and manipulation with effects and multiple sound element balancing.<\/p>\n

Based on years of experience as both a composer and sound designer, I have found that a trained ear is a valuable asset – both in the process of sound creation, and in the mixing stage – when sound effects must work in harmony with music to create a final soundtrack that enhances the drama of the visual experience. I have worked with software engineers to create highly interactive sound design for games, using proprietary 3D sound-placement techniques to put the gamer right in the middle of the action. I have also developed ‘signature’ sounds for company ‘image’ and logos and sound design and implementation for web content and online games.<\/p>\n

For maximum flexibility, I use both Mac and PC platforms with such audio applications as: Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, Audition, plug-ins and virtual instruments by Waves, Spectrasonics, Native Instruments, Steinberg, Izotope, Heavyocity, IK Multimedia, Toontrack and others.<\/p>\n
