Portfolio :: Jack Missed His Flight

This was the first full piece I’ve scored since splitting my processing workload across two machines. Something felt slightly off in the timing when I reassembled the pieces.

Portfolio :: Cyberpunk Demo

Channeling Vangelis for a Blade Runner-Inspired Soundtrack Building my film score demo reel; one genre at a time. This one’s cyberpunk.

Portfolio :: Western Wasteland
