Music
With over 15 years of experience as a musician and pianist — and a master’s degree in music — composition is at the heart of my creative practice.
I craft original music that supports gameplay, story, and emotion across a wide range of styles, from intimate piano pieces to sweeping orchestral scores, electronic soundscapes, and hybrid compositions.
Every track is tailored to the game’s world and tone, enhancing immersion and giving each project a unique sonic identity.
2024 Music Reel
This is my 2024 Music Reel where I showcase a wide range of music genres from Orchestral to Metal.
Estabwish Main Theme (Orchestral)
This orchestral piece was composed for a game jam centered around the theme “Built to Scale.”
The game concept involved constructing houses that grew progressively larger with each level, a simple but clever mechanic that inspired the structure of the music itself.
To reflect that idea, I designed the composition as a musical crescendo: building gradually in instrumentation, intensity, and complexity.
As the player’s constructions become more ambitious, the music evolves in parallel.
Western meets Halloween
This track was created for a Halloween-themed game jam and blends two distinct worlds: spooky Halloween and classic Western.
I set out to merge traditional Western instrumentation and harmonies — such as twangy guitars, galloping rhythms, and dusty saloon vibes — with spooky leads, and haunting sound effects.
The result is the charm of the Old West and the chilling tension of Halloween night.
