Update:  As I am now working on the Rock Band Network, authoring interested artist's music to be published into the game, I have coded Trippolette up for release. This means that it will not only finally get a real release, it will in fact be a launch track for the new service!

This is a tune I created for the first Guitar Hero, derived from my Advanced Modal Harmony final project at Berklee. It ended up getting cut at the last minute, but using a Gameshark-type device I've managed to hack it back into the game, and the code had been officially published by these devices since then. It gained somehwat of an underground following after the code was released, and there have been many videos posted to Youtube of people playing the song in-game. You can find out more information on my trippolette page.

I recently created an interactive music demo for the game Okami, which is an incredible game and a big influence for me. The demo is an application with four audio states, which can be switched between at a push of a button, to represent four different game states. These states correspond to daytime, nighttime, daytime with the brush out and finally nighttime with the brush out. Upon changing the state in the application the music will crossfade to the corresponding audio file. I have uploaded a video to Youtube where the audio state changes are in sync with the gameplay changes, and additionally have uploaded an audio demo hosted here.

For my final project at Berklee, I scored an animated short from the 80's titled George and Rosemary. The full video is up on Youtube to watch. I've supplied here a medley from the music I composed for the short.

This is a cue from an episode of X-Files.  It's a creepy cue from the opening of the episode.  The String Pads and the Piano were recorded live, and I added the Percussion after the fact.  Video only on this one for now.

From the pilot episode of Alias, this sad cue takes place at the funeral of the main character's fiance. The cue was recorded live with a Violinist, Pianist, and a couple of players on String Pads.

This cue is from the movie Advice and Dissent, and consists of a MIDI string quintet with the 1st violin and the bass parts played live. The cue basically consists of the main character coming home hoping to find his wife dead, because of a mysterious curse supposedly put on her by a Rabbi (it's a long story). In any case, it's kind of a quirky cue, somewhere in between klezmer and comedic-suspense.

This cue is from an episode of Providence, and was recorded with a live ensemble I conducted consisting of 2 violins, a flute, an upright bass, a vibraphone and a synthesizer with a violin section patch. The woman in the scene is looking around in an attic, basically hoping to come across proof of an old affair her father may have had with a woman who has just re-entered his life. It's another quirky suspense cue, kind of in a Monk-like style.

A cue from a nature movie. MIDI piano.

This is score I wrote for an imaginary scene as my Orchestration final project. You could imagine it being set during the Civil War, and has reflections of the scores of Glory and Cold Mountain. The scene itself has multiple parts. It begins focused on a careworn woman going about her days chores, wistfully dreaming of her husband, then cuts to a battle where her husband is fighting on the losing confederate side, from which he has a suspenseful escape before we cut to another scene of him emerging from a forest to greet his love.

This is a simple one which is a mockup for a "Rainy Day" type of scene. It's done up in Digital Performer using instruments from Reason.

A MIDI recorded simple love theme.

A sadder theme, based off a motif given in class. Again MIDI.

An orchestration of another students motif from the previous project. More MIDI.

A sonata-form piece I composed for my girlfriend's birthday.

A minuet and trio with a little bit of a fugue I began work on tacked on.

Some more sonata-based material, maybe for a mvt. IV?

A little jazz tune I threw together in garageband a few years back, with a live bass and guitar and garageband drums and sax.
