A LITTLE ABOUT MY NON-GMO JOURNEY
SO WHY IS THIS FARM-THEMED? I'm just from a small sandbar of a town surrounded by dairy farms. Yeah I'm the only one of my family of seven that lives in "the big city." My wife and kids definitely aren't just borrowing the terminology of organic food - we cook and eat it. Back in Winona I'd be considered a "granola". You may find me buying raw honey at a farmer's market on the weekend...
Anyways, in this wild time of people who don't even like music using AI to generate music, it's vital that the ones that love it are the ones making it! I'm doing everything I can to work with real players, and make raw, emotional, human, organic, breathing scores. Whether it's my own, or I'm orchestrating for someone else, life is the most vital thing we can put in our music. I mean, why else would I be doing this? It's certainly not for the money.
But how'd I get here? Well,
I GUESS MY GRANDMA'S LOVE OF MUSIC finally rubbed off on me. We all had to take lessons on various instruments as kids but I was the only one that stuck with classical piano. Always listened to classic rock with my dad. Then I got into jazz. Had a trio that played a few gigs. Then I started loving playing around in Logic. Then in college I scored a couple of short films for friends just for fun.
THEN I DECIDED TO GET SERIOUS. Found a mentor who worked as a commercial composer. Went to Berklee. Scored several short films, worked in commercial sound design for five years. Got married. Had a little family. Learned to speak Mandarin.
AND KEPT ROLLING. Hired the Prague Philharmonic for a movie project. I actually lost more money than I made but I was proud of my music. Scored another movie using all the synths I could find. Even scored a scene for a weird life-size rubber alien that the director promised would "look even greasier in post." Then worked with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. Then started learning even more orchestration from great mentors. Some breaks, some ups, some downs. Went to LA. Went to Dallas. Now between the two cities and writing every day. Still orchestrating for major motion pictures and Apple TV+ shows!
This portfolio is just for showing my music writing and things. I also love reading and hosting dinners and old movies and citypop records and backpacking and traveling overseas with my family. I'm not the type of person who thinks we should define ourselves solely by our jobs, but hey, this is America.
