Inspiration

Video game music is what got me into music composition in the first place — perhaps a love for music in general. I believe music has the most potential for emotional impact when accompanied by a story; whether that story is of your own life’s things, or of a great film or video game. The leading cause for me to love a film/game is how well the soundtrack resonates, and I carry that mentality into all projects that I work on.

Below is a list of my favourite film & game scores, to name a few.
