Below are a few commercials I produced custom songs for:

Panasonic Technics (Japan) - a woman stands on a subway train platform, puts in her earbuds, and is transported to a magical world.

h&s (Japan) - a cute, fluffy dandruff monster follows the main character from boyhood to adulthood. finally our hero buys some head & shoulders shampoo, and says goodbye to his furry childhood friend.

Onward (Japan) - an impeccably dressed woman takes in a modern art gallery and enjoys the view from a Tokyo rooftop.

Coleman (Japan) - the director of this spot shared a poem about the essence of camping, which said something like “even though we may not be comfortable, and its not always easy, the important thing is that we’re together.” I wrote the song based on that sentiment and it was sung beautifully by Hana Hope.

Composing for film:

~ producing ~

In the past few years I’ve really enjoyed getting to produce songs for other artists. I love the process of collaborating, arranging, and sharing the joy of creating music. These are a few of the projects I worked on recently.

Jahmiu - Almost Forgot How To Swim

Foxtrails - Mirage

Jess Meilman - Guilty Soulmate

Hope Waidley - Stars

Summer Winter - Blame Game

 

~ mastering ~

Some people consider mastering to be the “dark art” of music, bringing to mind wizardry or spell casting to put that final touch on a song before it goes out into the world. To me, it can just be as simple as taking the mixed song as the starting point and making it sound even better. I’ve had the honor of mastering a few tracks for other artists.

Gardens & Villa - Rosie

Shane Tyler - Lemurian Promenade, The Clouds Cleared The Way, Clio EP

Warm Brew - Staples Center
