I'm not cool enough to be in a band. Instead, I pound away at a keyboard, pretending to know what I'm doing, trying to emulate the sound of a large 70+ piece orchestra. I write film scores, with or without a film.

I'm not educated as a musician (I wouldn't really call myself educated at all), nor am I employed as one. It's simply a hobby that I'm lucky enough to explore. I'm actually an editor aspiring to be a cinematographer (who also directs). I like to know a little (or a lot) about every aspect of filmmaking, and music is the most out of my realm of 'expertise' but I find it the most fascinating.

I like all kinds of scores, everything from Jerry Goldsmith's "Alien" to Ezio Bosso's "I'm Not Scared." I tend to find myself writing bigger more bombastic pieces...partially because I think it's a hell of a lot of fun...but also because I find it's easier to hide the fact that my instruments are digital if there's a lot of them layered together. I've only recently begun to experiment with smaller scale pieces like '10 Little Indians' and 'A Killer in their Midst.' I actually quite like the sound of only 10-15 instruments playing, it has a raw intensity that can be just as driving or emotional as the biggest orchestra for the biggest movie...and sometimes more so (just not the stuff I write...).
