About me
I have been a professional musician for many years and I've always loved incorporating non conventional instruments and field recordings into my music. I've always veered to the experimental side of things and ignore genres and their restrictions to creativity.In 2014 I created a multimedia production using live and recorded sound with film and it was nominated as one of the top 50 shows in the Edinburgh Festival by The Scotsman. Currently I am designing the sound and composing the score for a short film being produced in Los Angeles. I always strive to write evocative music to really accentuate the story or meaning of the image it accompanies.
Additional skills:
I am a very experienced sound editor and producer.
