Music for film & visual storytelling

Give the scene a musical point of view.

Original music, themes, cues and cinematic production for filmmakers who need the score to deepen the story — not simply decorate the picture.

The approach

The music should know why the scene exists.

A score can add tension, tenderness, scale or unease — but it can also flatten a scene if it tells the audience what to feel before the picture has earned it.

I start with narrative function: whose perspective are we inside, what is changing in the scene, what should remain unresolved, and where does silence do more work than music? From there, we build the harmonic, melodic and sonic language the project actually needs.

Narrative first

Sometimes the score needs to speak. Sometimes it needs to know when to leave the scene alone.

Working on a film, trailer or visual project?

Send the cut, brief or scene.

Tell me what the story needs emotionally, where you are in the process and what you already know about the musical world.
