I am a New Zealand born film and game composer living in Nelson, a small city which is at the top of the South island of New Zealand.

​

I completed a Masters in Fine Arts in Professional Media Composition specialising in Orchestration for Film, Games and Television and Video Game Composition at the University of Chichester Film Scoring School.  

​

I have scored a number of short films and recently won an award for 'Best Original Score' for my work on 'Operation'.

I really enjoy working with a director to help them achieve a vision for the music which complements the film.

​

Another one of my favourite things is to improvise on and play hardware synthesizers, of which my Moog Matriarch is a particular favourite.  I also enjoy playing Tango music including live solo performing at the New Zealand Tango Festival. 

 

Music is a shared language and one of the things I enjoy most about media composition is one day you can be writing music for a game about Pirates, the next a game set in space or a comedy short film.  It constantly challenges you to embrace all different kinds of variety and this in itself is very rewarding.
