CHILDREN’S CD PROJECT

In this case, I was asked by the client to orchestrate/flesh out/complete a series of songs that were brought to me as rough demos with acoustic guitar and voice.  While working with the original chorus melodies etc., in a number of cases I had to create final grooves, verse parts, bridges and solo sections, as well as adhere to specific guidelines concerning overall feel and emotion.

While I lack a background in proper melodic musical theory, I most certainly do not lack the desire to produce music that is intended to illicit specific emotion, or accompany other forms of expression.   It’s a blast.

All virtual instruments in these examples played by me.

MUSIC FOR AN ORIGINAL ADAPTATION OF THE SELFISH GIANT

This is music I wrote to accompany a live theatre show.  22 pieces in total. At some point I’m also going to release it as a whole, along with the narration.
