Selected Works
MEDUSA SAYS (excerpt) - Excerpt from a bittersweet but driving symphonic metal ballad. Full version on Spotify.
KATYA'S SONG - A smoky Russian-language song, fit for a dimly-lit, pessimistic cabaret show.
BAD INTRENTIONS - A minimalist, uneasy cue inspired by Trent Reznor. The soundtrack for obsessive late-night true crime binges.
LAST BEACON - A moody arpeggiated synth cue for when you're lost in space in a damaged ship, evocative of gloomy vintage sci-fi.
THE UNDERTOW (excerpt) - Excerpt from a scooby-doom song about murderous mermaids. Full version on Spotify.
About Me
I'm a composer, producer, writer, artist, singer, and multi-instrumentalist from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I'm currently researching music promotion techniques at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.I lead the symphonic metal band Traumagician and the Poe-themed theatrical project Dead Edgar, do scoring work for Invictus Films, manage and produce Kate Fitz and the Romantics, and play mandolin for Astalo. Before I moved to Finland, I also played mandolin for The Reel Folk and the Grassroots Shakespeare Company.I write everything from classical choir pieces to heavy metal ballads to ridiculous synthrock bops about turning human beings into crabs. I was raised on a steady diet of opera and traditional Irish folk tunes; my mother exposed me to exclusively classical music for most of my childhood. But when I was 13 my dad brought home a Nightwish CD from a trip abroad, and on that day my lifelong obsession with Nordic metal--and my desire to become a professional musician myself--was born. And now here I am in Finland. Dreams do come true!
