Gisele’s Mashup Adventures
Here are two of three episodes that I scored for Gisele’s Mashup Adventures, by Headspinner productions and CBC Kids!
Dreams In Vantablack
12 Black youth poets from across Ontario share their stories of identity, fear and dreams for the future through poetry and animation. I am the composer of all music in this series, including opening and closing credits. Dreams in Vantablack is currently streaming on CBC Gem. You can watch it here.
No Reason to Apologize: The resilient legacy of Viola Desmond
I had the honor to work on this series of videos about the life of Viola Desmond. Videos were produced by Teach Media and The Ferguson Brothers. Theme composed by Janal Bechthold, and additional music was co-composed by myself and Janal Bechthold. Vocals were also recorded and edited by me. You can check out the accompanying graphic novel at the Teach Media website .
This score won the 2022 CASMA Award for Best Original Score for Interactive Media. You can see our acceptance speech here.
Stampede: The Klondike Goldrush of 1896
Here are two videos I scored about The Klondike Goldrush, produced by Teach Media and The Ferguson Brothers. I had the pleasure of working on these with composer Janal Betchthold, who composed the theme for each video and scored episodes 1 and 3.
Power Up Panda
I wrote this song for the Treehouse Toon Bop youtube channel. Production, sound design, and mix were done by me. Performance was by Kendra Thaller.
Kids Music Reel
Some music examples geared towards children or childrens media.
Hardboiled
“Hardboiled” is a short film I worked on with fellow filmmakers Daniel Kwon and Benjamin Pattison for the latest Victoria 24H Film Fest. It was so fun putting together the sound design, and composing the score for this gritty film noire piece.
