Continuing the “misc fantasy-themed music” streak, this week’s cue is a lyrical orchestral piece evoking a small settlement with a gorgeous view.
I’m flattered to be featured in the #DoricoShowcase series, which highlights works by composers who use Dorico notation software. Read about my concert works for guzheng (previous and forthcoming) and some other cool projects!

This one is unusual for me in that it’s all-synth. I refer to it as a dark journey through an alien place. It was closer to a performance than a composition in the traditional sense, in that I rode the pitch-bend wheel to create ongoing modulations. (Or in less fancy terms, the wweeeOOOOWwwwwww effects.) Definitely not something you’re going to whistle on the way to work. 馃檪
This week’s selection is a dark orchestral fantasy piece with a mystical mood. Obligatory choir chanting included!
This week’s selection is another cue from the political thriller The F-Zone. More accurately, a medley of two cues for adjacent film scenes which I thought complemented each other well.
The first part puts a moody soprano sax* atop piano and flutes, while the second section is more somber and string-focused.
* Saxophones aren’t legally required to only play jazz!
In movies as in life, a tax audit is a trying event. The audit scene in the thriller The F-Zone is accompanied by the score’s recurring piano motive as well as glissando strings which might suggest (depending on your imagination) either alarms or sighing with exhaustion.
Cortopia’s Down the Rabbit Hole was nominated for Immersive Reality Game of the Year at the 24th Annual DICE Awards. Congrats to the team for this significant and well-deserved honor!
I was pleased to provide music for this documentary on the brewing Section 230 controversy. Timely, informative, and presented with an entertaining retro-game visual motif. Check it out!
