The right sonic palate goes a long way in making your work shine.
An Island’s Homecoming
Inspired by the folk music of coastal regions in East Asia, An Island’s Homecoming incorporates traditional Japanese melodic instruments and percussion ensembles to communicate narrative concepts about societies founded upon the ocean.
Starting quiet and ambient, the piece is able to sit under dialogue, eventually building to an energetic dance that gives filmmakers the ability to utilize visual storytelling.
Dunes of Dykara
Forged from the combination of both Turkish and Egyptian melodic instruments with dark synthesized textures, Dunes of Dykara tells a story of a setting beyond our past or present reality.
Firmly intended to be used in combination with scene-establishing shots, the piece builds from soft vocal lines to intense rhythmic stabs. From simple travels to perilous journeys, filmmakers are allowed to convey key details about imaginative locations.
Dusk to Dark
Combining the sways, steps, and snaps of the forest with guitar-centric rhythms and textures, Dusk to Dark’s conventional orchestral and choral ensembles tell a story of the duality of a night in the woods: somehow inducing both belonging and paranoia.
Lying somewhere between music and sound design, the piece heavily incorporates ambient sounds associated with the setting, giving filmmakers the ability to establish a location through inference rather than exposition.
