I compose original music for film and visual media, blending orchestral, electronic, and experimental elements to support story and emotion.

This channel also features score analyses and reductions, exploring how film music is constructed and how it shapes storytelling on screen.

I've just released a new analysis and score reduction of "Father and Son" from Jaws (1975) on Patreon.

While Jaws is often remembered for its iconic shark motif, this brief cue showcases John Williams' remarkable ability to balance warmth, intimacy, and subtle tension through harmony and orchestration.
