Here are some partial clips of music I have composed for various projects. Please keep in mind that these clips are just small snippets of my work in .mp3 compression so that you can download them easily. If you are interested in hearing my work in full CD-quality fidelity, please request a demo CD. Thanks!

"The Battle" from "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds":

This music covers the Artilleryman's flashback to the big battle between the British Army and the Martians. The Martians are wining this battle handily, and this track comes in right as the Martian's blasts destroy the entire town the army is attempting to defend. The music shifts into a march-like tempo as the Martian War machines advance across the countryside, blasting troop emplacements everywhere. The end of the track covers the Artilleryman's successful attempting at extracting himself from under a pile of dead bodies and equipment to escape.

"Reunion" from "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds":

This is music from the very end of The War of the Worlds. It covers the emotional reunion between the Writer (main character) and his wife, both of whom though the other was dead. The scene segues into a voice-over talking about how life returns to the land as the people who survived the invasion return and begin to rebuild their lives. The movie ends on a very hopeful note.

"Love Theme" from "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds":

This is the love theme from  The War of the Worlds.  This cue is played during our first introduction to the writer and his wife in the film.

"Big Man On The Move":

This is a music-library piece that I originally wrote for a movie about the mob.  It was intended for a scene that follows a limo on it's approach to the state pen followed by a transition inside the prison to a somber meeting with the imprisoned mob boss.

 "Ultimate Confrontation" from "The Delivery Man":

This is music from the dramatic concluding fight scene in "The Delivery Man" This is a one-on-one fight to the death between the Delivery Man and his arch-nemesis, Lady Harken.

"Endangered Species"

Endangered Species is an animated short by BAFTA award-winning director Tony White.  It tells the tale of the rise and fall of hand-drawn animation in the 20th Century.  My score for this film won me a "Gold Medal for Excellence" in the "Best Impact of Music in a Short Film" category of the 2007 Park City Film Music Festival.

Theme from the television show "About Us":

This is the main title music that I composed for the KCTS (PBS Seattle) television series "About Us". The series is an independent filmmaker showcase highlighting topics and experiences that are distinctive to the Pacific Northwest. This music is played over the introduction to the program, which is a montage of people and locations from the films being showcased. The series is currently running several times a week on KCTS. This piece is completely computer generated.

Theme from the movie "Rocketman":

Rocketman is a comedy adventure about a rotund superhero of the 1930's who flies around with a rocket pack (ala the Rocketeer, except far sillier.) While most of the audience is in on the joke, in the sense of the film Rocket Man is seen as a hero and therefore required a heroic anthem. This track consists of the movie's opening fanfare as well as the end credits. This piece was recorded with a live orchestra.

"Opening Credits" from "The Killers"

This is the main title music for a remake of Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers".   This version of the film is in the noir genre, but set in Japan. 

 Note, I do not yet have the artwork from this film, so the image on the left is from the original movie, not the remake that this music is from.

"The Martians Come Out!" from "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds":

This track covers the scene at the pit when the Martians first exit the cylinder. The people surrounding the pit are understandably afraid of these strange creatures. This track uses several modern string techniques to create a creepy and ominous mood.

"Let the Battle Begin" from the movie "Carfight":

CarFight is a parody on Gladiator, except instead of human vs human in the arena, it is human vs. Oldsmobile. The opening cue follows the entrance of the "evil" car and the rogue hero human into the arena. "Let the Battle Begin" starts with a horn call signaling the start of the fight and covers an action-heavy sequence of the film consisting of the hero attacking the car with swords, throwing-stars, a grappling hook and other weapons (yes it is as crazy as it sounds). This piece was recorded with a live orchestra.

 Prologue" from "H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds":

This is music from the opening of The War of the Worlds. Occurring immediately after the opening credits, the Prologue consists of a montage of images from turn-of-the-century England accompanied by a voice over reading the opening lines of H.G. Wells' text. As the camera pans up into the night sky and zooms in on Mars, the tone of the narrative and the music changes, indicating the impending invasion by Martians.

 "Stranglehold on a Heart":  Finalist-Awarded entry in 2004 Turner Classic Movies Young Film Composers Competition:

This was my entry in the 2004 Turner Classic Movies Young Film Composers Competition. It was selected, out of over 600 entries nationally, as one of 5 finalist entries.  The clip covers part of the silent film "The Temptress" as the leading man struggles with the fact that he both hates and loves the leading lady.  You can see the video for this on my video clips page.  This piece is completely computer generated.

End Credits from the movie "Muerto Canyon":

Muerto Canyon is a movie about the outbreak of the Hanta virus on a Native American reservation back in the 90's. This is music from the end credits, which contains a restatement of the major themes of the movie. This piece is completely computer realized.
