Composition For Media
Along with my creative partner Tom S. Englund (Silent Skies, Evergrey), I work with production company Silent Skies Productions on scoring projects for visual media, in particular video games. Credits thus far include the upcoming games Jurassic Park: Survival and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine II, as well as Evil Dead: The Game, NFL's Playgrounds: Wild Card Football, World War Z: Aftermath, and Dakar: Desert Rally.
ProductionWorking out of my Black Bear Audio studio in Asheville, North Carolina, I am passionate about working on all aspects of audio production, including the following:
- Production - tracking, arranging, preparation of pre-production demos, and otherwise masterminding the process of committing clients' performances to recorded audio - Mixing, both for productions I have spearheaded and for remote sessions tracked at other studios or out of your home studio - Mastering (for projects I have produced as well as mastering mixes done elsewhere), to put the final touch on your recordings and get them ready for public consumption |
RecordingAs a seasoned and university-educated performer and instrumentalist for many years, I am available to contribute to recording in a session capacity, including but not limited to:
- Piano and keyboards recording (including real live felted grand piano and analog hardware synthesizer!) - Orchestral arranging, both with MIDI orchestration and for live players - Drum (and other instruments) programming and arranging, both for songwriting and for final productions |
