cue the music
Music is also a big part of my creative world, alongside visual art. I write orchestral and film-style pieces focused on emotion and storytelling.
Creating visual art is often a thoughtful, idea-driven process for me, while music (while still carefully crafted) tends to be much more visceral.
With my paintings, I hope to invoke thought.
With my music, I hope to make people feel.
Every composition begins at the piano, where I experiment and develop musical ideas into a piano sketch using MuseScore. From there, I assign instruments—sometimes having a full arrangement in mind, other times discovering the ensemble as the piece unfolds. I finalize each work in Logic Pro, where I orchestrate, mix, and master the finished track.
