Live Performance
KEXP In-Studio
My band Among Authors were invited to perform a KEXP In-Studio session with DJ Kevin Cole. An interesting note about this performance is that for a month leading up to it, I had the band rehearse using different headphone mixes that I purposely mixed poorly so it was difficult to hear each other. I did this because I knew we would be performing using headphones on KEXP, and I wanted us to be prepared and comfortable with any outcome in case we weren't able to hear each other properly.

VIDEO GAMES
Video Games:
Soundtrack Composition
Echoes of the Plum Grove
Released 02/13/2025 on Nintendo Switch
"Echoes of the Plum Grove" is a cozy farm sim released by Unwound Games.
I was tasked with composing music that evolved from being happy in the summer season of the game, to more melancholy in fall. Eventually leading to pretty dreary and sad music in the Winter season. The developers wanted to give a sense of worry and sadness as you approach the winter season, since NPCs would start getting sicker in the winter and had the possibility of dying. I also composed music for specific events in the game.
ROLE:
-
Soundtrack Composer
-
Composed 40+ songs for this soundtrack.

Recording Studio Build
Squaremoss Studio
Squaremoss Studio is my recording studio. I designed and built all the sound baffles, and my recording desk. Squaremoss Studio gets it's name from the square 5' x 5' preserved moss sound baffle I built. It has rockwool sound dampening material behind the moss. Another notable feature is the large hexagon ceiling baffle which I designed out of 6 triangular baffles around a center light. Eventually I had to relocate Squaremoss Studio to another location, which I've included a few photos of as well, repurposing most of the sound baffles I built from the original studio.
