Original Music for Film and Media
Alongside my concert works, I create original scores for independent film, sync, and media projects. From sweeping orchestral soundscapes to electronic textures, I craft music that tells stories and deepens impact.
I’ve worked with both major brands and independent creators, tailoring music that fits the unique voice of each project. Whether you’re directing a festival short or producing a campaign, I partner closely with you to bring your vision to life.
