Harp day at Pianella studio. One of my favorite instruments - always a joy to orchestrate for and solve pedal puzzles.

@thegamebrass.com and I created two amazing cover albums where we replaced EVERY track in the game with newly-imagined brass arrangements... and then modded our versions into the game itself. We'll be talking about how we did this at MAGFest this Saturday!

@thegamebrass.com was honored with “Best Acoustic/Chamber” by the #GMRA for our arrangement of Secret of the Forest. So proud of our now 10 albums, and even prouder to be recognized by our peers. Thanks @vgmcon.bsky.social for hosting the awards. Haven't heard our 200+ covers? Check us out!

A bit late to the share, but happy to have been apart of orchestrating and music prepping the second season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers. Thanks again to Marco Beltrami, Buck Sanders, and Miles Hankins for bringing on board! And thanks to Jarryd Elias for your last-minute parts prep help.

Honored to have had the opportunity to orchestrate the thoughtful score by Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders for Deaf President Now! This documentary focuses on the (successful) protest movement in the 80s by deaf students of Gallaudet University to instill the first deaf president of the university.

Had an amazing time conducting the Aria Kart Orchestra and Chorus @vgmcon.bsky.social ! This 46-member group totally nailed it with just a couple hours of rehearsal, and it was a major honor to be able to finally work in person with so many amazing musicians that I've only known online till now.
