I am an experienced media composer who has been writing music for a number of years for several projects in video game and film. I have experience in a wide range of genres and instrumentation, ranging from full orchestra scores for grand epic battles to smaller intimate guitar/piano tracks for emotional scenes. I can write music specifically for video or I can compose based on an image, idea or brief. I mainly use Cubase as my DAW but have experience in other DAW's including FL Studio. I value communication with a client - keeping in touch is important. I want the client to feel like they are part of the process as much as they want to.
