FILM & VIDEO SCORES

I provide original music composition and sound design services for film, video, radio and television production as well as for web-based media and software applications (i.e. video games). My goal is to enhance and support visual media by creating unique and original music and soundscapes. I can score to rough edit scenes and can assist in audio editing, sweetening, and mastering. I also have a large selection of pre-recorded original music and library of sound effects. I offer various music packages and licensing options to fit your budget and I am always happy to hear from the aspiring amateur or the seasoned professional film maker! [CONTACT]

My studio, although small, is built on the latest technology and therefore allows me to deliver a quality product at lower cost. My digital audio workstation is PC based (Intel dual core PC with multiple SATA drives). I primarily use Steinberg Cubase, Sony Vegas, ACID Pro, and Sound Forge. I have a high end EMU soundcard/digital interface, analog, tube, and digital compressors, and several quality condenser and cardioid dynamic mics made by RODE, Shure, and E/V. I use Mogami cables through out. I can record at all bit and sampling rates and can master in 5.1 surround. I can accommodate all audio formats and can deliver audio files in just about any format you can think of.

For instruments I have a rack of MIDI controlled analog/digital synths by EMU and Roland as well as a few vintage synth keyboards in the studio. I also have an extensive set of high end virtual softsynths and effects plug-ins as well as a very large library of digital audio samples.
