Sound Recording

I am currently trying to put together a mobile/live recording set-up which is both compact and easily mobile, yet retains all the functionality of the real studio environment.

Sound Design

This is my sound design portfolio. I will be adding to this over the coming years to build my portfolio with various pieces of foley story boards, location soundscapes, and various short videos.

Composition

Here is a small collection of oddities. Mostly very rough ideas and quickly done compositions in various genres and formats. I would like to be adding more here but full-time work makes it difficult to finish anything. This should be my priority.
