Composition for
Sound Design

 

Here are some samples from shows I've composed music for.  All works were created in my home studio, except as noted. 

As You Like It Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind

It Was a Lover and His Lass

Reset into the Romantic era. 

Recorded at a friend's studio.  Sheet music available for licensing.

The Giver Gloria- Finale Vocals recorded in a church and my friends studio.  All other instruments at home.
What Mad Pursuit Opening

Parlor Anrensky

The opening bit is a prelude to a show about archeologists, that leads into a nightmare with a Minotaur, and then onto a sea voyage.  The second track is the first transition to the stuffy interior that most of the play resides in.
La Carpe Calavera Act Two Skeletons

Flight

Skeleton Interlude

Minute Men

These pieces are for a Day of the Dead show I did with Miracle Theatre.  It was a carnival-type show.  Very vaudeville.  These pieces reflects the fun that the dead have during the show.
Arcadia Opening

Waltz

This is music for a local production of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia.  A play that juxtaposes two time periods- early 1800s with today.  The first cue introduces the first 1800s scene.  The second cue is the waltzing lesson that both time periods take part in that ends the show.
Clean Gustavito prays

Kyrie

This is a piece about a love affair between an eleven year old boy and a Priest.  The elements of the show are- Catholicism, Unrequited love, Poverty, a Drag queen and Latino culture.  I had a great time using found-object percussion for many of the tracks, and elements of the English Mass.
