The Stage 32 Videos: Composing

Here’s a project I really enjoyed — I composed the background score and designed all the SFX for an advertisement by Kiri Engine, under the direction of CEO Jack Wang. The music was heavily influenced by big band swing — bold brass, lively rhythms, and cinematic flair — to give the ad a confident and creative energy. Every sound, from transitions to textures, was crafted to match the app’s innovative identity and elevate its storytelling. Grateful to the Kiri team for the opportunity to shape their sonic world! If you have any music or sound design needs — from ads to films to original songs — feel free to reach out. I'd love to collaborate.

Step into the creative process as I compose music for the "We Are Live In Time" series trailer. This video showcases a behind-the-scenes look at my Cubase session, where melodies come to life in perfect harmony with the visuals of the trailer.

In this video I show you how I recorded/created a Horror/Thriller library and then I go into Logic to show you how these sounds could be used by scoring a scene from the film at 06:33

I do this, and have been doing this, everyday for the past 15 years. It is an exercise to increase my improvisational skills and in general, be able to create spontaneous lifelike music on the spot. This time....I went for baroque, hopefully to your ears not the garden variety "attempt' at sounding like something, but in this case, like someone ready to challenge Bexthude, and Bach in a play-off.
