Film Score

My interest in audio engineering was a natural extension of my life-long experience as a musician. Scoring films is my favorite form of musical output, and I am lucky to have provided audio for several Maryland-based filmmakers:

• Restlessness (2023, Dir. Jason Lobe)
• Efemmera (2021, Dir. Amy Oden)
• Landscaper (2016, Dir. Jason Lobe)

I have also created several "music video" pieces to accompany various tracks from my ambient project Paper Tether. All source material for these films comes from the Prelinger Archive.
