Movie Scene Re-Score
An original score composed entirely through sound synthesis, using a combination of FM, granular, and subtractive synthesis to build a dynamic and evolving sonic environment.
The score was designed to create an atmosphere of tension, gradually introducing layers of harmonic and textural elements that evolve alongside the scene. Each synthesized sound was carefully shaped to complement the pacing and emotional intensity of the visuals.
Let Me Out
Indie Shortfilm
An independent short film project in which I contributed across multiple stages of the production and post-production sound process.
My role included working as the Location Sound Mixer, capturing production audio on set with a focus on clean dialogue and consistent environmental recordings. I also composed the original score, developing the musical language of the film to support its narrative, atmosphere, and emotional progression.
For the final stage of post-production, I contributed to the Re-Recording Mix, helping shape the balance and integration of dialogue, sound effects, Foley, and music into the final soundtrack.
Sound
Re-Design
Every sound in this scene was created from scratch through a fully custom Foley process. Individual sounds were recorded specifically for the scene, carefully selected and crafted to match the physical movements, materials, and interactions on screen.
The recordings were then meticulously edited, layered, and processed to create a cohesive and detailed sonic environment. Each element was shaped to feel naturally connected to the visuals, while subtle sonic details were added to enhance the sense of space, movement, and physical presence.
