I teamed up with Hannah Lux Davis and her amazing producer Angela Gregory for the Sweet Like Candy music. When I composed and produced the music for this one, we wanted to keep it elegant, but still have some edge to it. I am really happy with how it turned out! Here's the 30 second version.

I got together with Dare Music Marketing in Australia to compose and produce the music for the new 2014 mazda 3 launch down under. It was really a unique experience working with people on a completely opposite time zone, but it all came together in the end and I'm really proud of the end product.

eBay - It Has It All

The music for this spot was truly unique. They wanted a piece of music that moved with each location that the commercial was showcasing. In this case, the music started in NYC, moved to London, then Paris, then to the beaches of LA. They wanted something fun and memorable. In the end I am very proud of the arrangement I came up with!

The Knowledge Network in Vancouver needed some music for the theme song of their "Masters" program, which documents famous artists in painting, sculpture, music and written word throughout history. I aimed to compose a piano and string piece that showcased the history behind these talented individuals. I had a great time composing the music for this theme, you catch episodes of "Masters" in Vancouver Mondays at 9pm. Click here to check out the 20s version.

Bodycount

I got the amazing opportunity to work with Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch on their latest viral video for Codemaster's upcoming game Bodycount. For those of you that have been living under a rock the past couple years, Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch are some amazingly talented directors who basically took over YouTube since they started releasing their weekly videos. Their videos are primarily based on video game's, but clever and smart writing surrounded by crazy action and VFX sets their videos apart. This particular video was based on a demo of BodyCount they played at E3.

They wanted me to compose electronic elements very reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid for sneaking around, and intense music for underscoring the action sequences. There is so much action in this particular film that a simple yet effective score was what they were seeking. The end result is a combination of electronic grooves, synths, string pads, and taiko drums. I hope to work with this duo again in the future as they continue to make amazing videos that keep their subscription base of over 2,000,000 people keep coming back for more.

While browsing kickstarter one day I came across a short film that had to do with the history of Alberta during the prohibition. Being Canadian (and an Albertan) I was really intrigued and contacted Brett Ferster the director to inquire about composing the score. After talking about his vision for the music and sending him some samples of my composing, he liked where I was going with the music and decided to take me on as the composer.

Because of the time period I wanted to mainly use a string quartet and piano, with moments of a bigger orchestral arrangement for the intense scenes. I chose to use 2 Cellos, 1 violin and 1 viola; I chose 2 cellos instead of 2 violins because the overall tone of the film was very dark because of the prohibition time period. I have recently become obsessed with Taiko drums (mainly because of Bear McCreary and his amazing composing for some of my favorite shows) so I really wanted to find a way to bring the sound of Taiko's into the prohibition time period. After all was said and done I am really proud of the final result and I hope you enjoy the film and the music. I really look forward to working with Brett in the future, he is an amazingly talented director and really great to work with.
