INSPIRATION

Video game and film scores are what got me into music composition, and are ultimately how I fell in love with music in the first place. To this day, the leading cause for me to emotionally connect with a film/game is how well the soundtrack breathes life into the story. As a composer, my goal is always to create a special feeling with music - a feeling that only music is able to bring about.
