Film and Video Scoring

Below are some examples of recent video work. Unless otherwise noted, all the instruments are played by me. Click here to jump to my audio demo.

Video

There are two versions of each movie below, one for Mac (Quicktime format) and one for Windows (WMV). The PATH video is only available as a link for now.

I Will

I scored this video for PATH, a global health non-profit, to highlight their work in Zambia fighting malaria. They wanted something upbeat and African-sounding, so I combined guitars, African drums, thumb piano and voices to create a piece that celebrates the work that’s being done. (African voices courtesy Spectrasonics “Heart of Africa.”)

Swedish flyaround


Quicktime      WMV

This architectural flyaround of the Swedish Orthopedic Institute needed something inviting and modern. I wrote an orchestral piece using mostly mallet instruments—marimba, vibraphone, and glockenspiel—along with a rhythm section of acoustic guitar, bass, piano and hand percussion. (Animation by Studio216 for NBBJ Seattle.)

Rapala spot


Quicktime      WMV

The video on the left is a 15 second spot for Rapala fishing reels. I decided to write a jazzy piece, but give it an electronic edge to go along with the high-tech visuals. (Animation by Fuse for Rapala Inc.)
