Music Composition
I completed my Minor in Arts & Music from MECA&D by composing songs using DAWs including REAPER and Pro Tools. I created and put together melodies and harmonies intuitively through recording my voice and using MIDI keyboards along with the music theory knowledge I’ve gained throughout Highschool and College.
It all started with Chorus in Elementary school and the Choir at church as well as picking up the flute in Band. What really started the cogs was my first music theory class that ran into the COVID Pandemic where I was introduced to my first DAW. There, I was able to let out all of my pent up emotions from being inside for so long.
Music is powerful, so powerful that it can convey even more than pictures.
Music Minor Capstone Project: The Fluorescence
I worked on this project in tandem with my partner Madison Ostrowski. It is a cast of characters and their musical themes in a theoretical video game context. They designed the characters, I composed the songs, they engineered the songs, and I illustrated each character’s splash art.

Film Scores
I partnered with my animation colleagues to enhance their short films through original music.
CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS!
Original Songs
These were all created during College and each exist in their own context.
Made with my iPhone, REAPER, me and myself in the basement
Using Spitfire’s BBC Orchestra, I made a cinematic score in one chord: a minor 7
The state of the art world was getting to me
