Scoring a Film With Two Old Computers
You don’t need a powerful machine to score a film. You need your computers to agree on what time it is, and to not fight over the same resources while they do it. This guide is for composers working with older hardware and no budget. The idea is simple: your desktop makes the music, a laptop plays the video, and a cable between them keeps both in step.

I have composed a song, a modern Federalist Paper in verse, to dissect this Great Divide. If we do not learn to tune out the static of the Factions, we shall surely lose the melody of the Constitution. open.spotify.com/tra...

I remember the smell of old grease and broken promises. At 4 PM, the world doesn't wake up; it just switches shifts. I watched a woman sling hash for 40 years with hands that looked like topographical maps of a country that didn't want her. open.spotify.com/tra... #GildedAge2

The most effective way to protect a concentrated power structure isn’t to fight the working class; it’s to convince them to fight each other. If you’re busy arguing over cultural crumbs, you’ll never notice who owns the bakery.

Transients & Punch Notes
Core idea Loudness, brightness, and transients are three descriptions of the same moment, not separate levers Sharp transients need high frequency content, lows are too slow to build a fast edge 50Hz wave takes 20ms per cycle, a snare snap happens in 2 to 3ms Low end still carries impact (chest feel), but the "snap" your ear reads is high end…

Book Notes :: Music Production for Film & TV
1.Sample Rates Definition: Sampling converts an analog signal into digital data. The sample rate is how many samples are captured per second. Two standard rates: 44.1 kHz — used for audio destined for CD. 48 kHz — required for film and television audio. Why 48 kHz for video: it was chosen to stay compatible with common video frame rates (NTSC 29.97 fps, PAL 25 fps, 24 fps, 30 fps), delivering a consistent ~22 kHz frequency response across them.

Portfolio :: Jack Missed His Flight
This was the first full piece I've scored since splitting my processing workload across two machines. Something felt slightly off in the timing when I reassembled the pieces. Might just be me, might not. Let me know if you see/hear it too. Aside from that, this one was a lot of fun. I've been digging through public domain films on the Internet Archive, looking for movies with no music, or ones where I could swap out the original score for something of my own.

Music will be safe for now
This is not going to be a traditional book report. In that sense I will go over the book a little bit, and maybe why you should read it, but instead, and surprisingly, this book reaffirmed my belief that in the long run, human made music will still be around for thousands of years, and we will always have musicians who excel at their craft, along with amazing songwriters, performers, producers, and engineers.

Portfolio :: Cyberpunk Demo
Channeling Vangelis for a Blade Runner-Inspired Soundtrack Building my film score demo reel; one genre at a time. This one's cyberpunk. When I first opened this project, it was labeled "Cyberhuman." One word, and I was instantly in Blade Runner territory. That means only one thing: Vangelis. Lush analog synths, that slow cinematic wash of sound — it's a sound I've always wanted an excuse to chase.

Book Report :: Insights into Film Scoring and Digital Audio Workstations Introduction
This book serves as an excellent foundational introduction for anyone new to digital audio workstations, particularly those working with Logic Pro. While the hands-on instructions rely heavily on Logic and Apple-specific shortcuts or system behavior.  This means Windows or Linux users will need to translate or bypass certain technical sections, the underlying principles of film scoring remain universally applicable.  For beginners looking to explore the world of media composition, this is a fantastic place to start, regardless of the specific software version you are running today.

Portfolio :: Western Wasteland
A foray into a wasteland of sound and space, somewhere between Ludwig Göransson and Ennio Morricone.  Göransson has scored many of Ryan Coogler's films, Tenet and Odyssey for Christopher Nolan, and all the Mandalorian we've seen on TV and the big screen. Morricone needs less introduction — most Americans know him from the spaghetti westerns, especially The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

You’re not 'waiting for the right time.' You’re just waiting for permission from a world that doesn't even know you exist. It’s easier to pat yourself on the back for being 'diverse' in your head than it is to actually risk being the only person in the room doing something real.
