Sound in storytelling isn’t just about music working with image. Sound alone has never been more alive thanks to podcasts, audiobooks and radio. This offers up the opportunity to use both music and the spoken word to reach a whole new audience. I've been lucky enough to help create some exciting audio stories with some great creators.
Composing for media or live performance often includes producing the sounds as well as writing the music. In order to achieve the best possible sound quality, I've invested heavily in quality instruments and sample libraries. The result is a professional sonic arsenal ready for any assignment.
