Grievance Assurance
     Character Intros
     Final Chaos

This is a student film directed by Zack Wilson and produced by Negative Zero Films. It is about the experience of four professional mourners who have trouble dealing with death when it hits a little closer to home. I have included two clips from the movie that I have scored.

     Daily Routine
     Blind Date
     Heartache

This student film was directed by Ivan Mirko Senjanovic, and produced by Unique Forms of Continuity in Space and Time. The film is just under 20 minutes and contains one living character (played by Eric Kincaid) and no dialogue. The film is intentionally paced very slowly, and the music is intended to move the film along while maintaining the directors original aesthetic goals. If interested in obtaining the rest of the film please contact Ivan Senjanovic - i.m.senjanovic@gmail.com

The Great Fall
This short film is a PG-13 spin on the popular nursery rhyme – Humpty Dumpty. The film was written, created, directed, and produced by Ithaca College student Lucien deLaBruere. I used excerpts from my score for The Billboard to piece together music for this film in the last few hours of its production.
Cinematic Intro
This short clip is the video intro for the production company Unique Forms of Continuity in Space and Time, (producer of The Billboard.)
Grocery Groove
This piece was written for the film Grievance Assurance. The director asked for authentic-sounding source music for a scene taking place in the grocery store. I wrote the saxophone and flute part along with the basic chord structure of the piece. My brother Adam used software synths to create the rhythm-section accompaniment.
Just a Closer Walk
This is a 1960’s style country arrangement of the traditional hymn Just a Closer Walk with Thee. It was arranged and recorded for the soundtrack of student film – Grievance Assurance.
Hero Theme
This is a gallant sounding theme scored for string orchestra. It was written as an assignment for a film-scoring class, and the tune is intended to be a John Williams-esque melody.
Hero Theme (pensive)
As the title suggests, this is a variation on the piece “Hero Theme”. It is intended to use the same melodic ideas as the original while portraying the “hero” in a different emotional state.
Hero Theme (enemy's lair)
As the title suggests, this is a variation on “Hero Theme”. It is intended to use the same melodic ideas as the original while portraying the “hero” while approaching the enemy's lair. This clip is fairly short, as more of a demo to be extended for an actual scene if desired.
News Theme
This theme was written for a film and television-scoring class. The goal of the assignment was to create the music for an evening news TV program.
