So Proud!

I guess that makes me an educated composer :)

Busy Times

Things have been quite busy lately, which is awesome :)

First I've had my exam for the Music for the Media Course (amazing course) and passed. Yay! Due to copyrights I can't show the film, but here's the music I submitted:

"Voices Inside"



I've also been working on some more music for Dark Raid, an upcoming FPS game from Vector Games, which looks amazing. I did a short cue for a trailer for the game:

"I am Muddy" - Dark Raid Trailer


I will post the trailer as soon as it's online.


I'm currently working on three really cool short films, which all have deadlines within a couple of months, so expect some updates on that shortly.


I really didn't expect to get so busy this early in my composing career and I feel truly grateful to all the people that I have previously worked with and that I'm currently working with. A film is a directors baby and to hand it over to an unknown dude who claims to be able to make music for it, is really admirable. I'll do my best to prove them right in their choice of composer :)

Game Score and a Student Assignment

For the past month I've been composing music for the upcoming video game Dark Raid from Vector Games. From what I've seen so far, this game looks amazing and I can't wait to get to play it.

To work on it has been such a great experience and it's been a true pleasure to work with the people behind it. We plan to release the full score, as a free download (with options for donations) on my site, as soon as the game hits the shelves.

Here's "Dark Raid - Main Theme":


Make sure to keep an eye out for the game. Check their website and their facebook page for updates.

I'm also doing ThinkSpace's Cinematic Orchestration course and I'm currently covering woodwinds which I haven't written especially for before. Here's a piece I wrote for one of the assignments for winds and strings:

"Funny Feelings - A Love Theme"

Another Student Score and Melodic Rock

I've just finished another score for the Music for the Media course.

1M1 - "The Robbery"


1M2 - "Cold Nights Main Title"


1M3 - "Agent Sinclair"


This was my last assignment for this course and I have to say it's been amazing. I've learned a lot about writing music for media and I can highly recommend this course. Check it out here.

I have also recently written a short cue for Varun Sethnas Animation Mentor class 2 (+ class 1) showreel. This time Varun wanted a melodic rock track and even though that's not what I would usually write, I love a challenge and jumped into it.

When sitting down to compose this I quickly realized that all I had of electric guitar samples was from the Kontakt Library, which is great for starters, but doesn't really hold up. I went ahead and purchased Impact Soundworks Shreddage II which combined with Guitar Rig 5 is an amazing library (Revalver, an amp effect thingy is included in Shreddage II, but it crashed my Cubase big time, so I went with Guitar Rig). Anyways, here's the cue:

"Brothers in Arms" - Varun Sethna AM Class 2 ShowReel


I'll put the video in as soon as it's available on Youtube or Vimeo.

Music for Gisel Calvo's "Sunrise"

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a piece of music to go with a beautiful timelapse video created by Gisel Calvo. Here's the video with my music.
