Composition
Since I was young, I have played around with music, occasionally writing small pieces of original music. Through my design exploration and training, I have been able to refine that skill into composing original music. Below is a sampling of music composed for theatrical productions.
Mr. Memory Theme - Composed as an intro for the character Mr. Memory from The 39 Steps, this theme wound its way into several of the show music selections.
Chase Sequence - Composed for The 39 Steps, this theme was during one of the many chase sequences. The Mr. Memory theme is present in a minor mode.
Fortune Teller Underscore - This was composed for a production of The White Liars. In this scene, a dockside fortune teller is reading the crystal ball, and the future is grim.
Music To Hang From A Bridge By - Written for The 39 Steps, our hero is hanging from a bridge in the dark, as the cops try to arrest him.
Walking Through The House - In The 39 Steps, our hero is lulled into a false sense of security while visiting a potential benefactor's home, which is big. Really big.
One Chord Selection - An original composition based around a single chord.
Tension Underscore - Originally composed for The 39 Steps, this selection has been used a few times to underscore tense moments.
Curtain Call - From the production of The 39 Steps and revamped for inclusion in Dead On Her Feet, this selection represents my love of big band music.
