Nara Residences

Nara Residences

Audio redesign · Original music · Sonic identity

Sound built for space. The score opens up the residential concept — calm, aspirational, unhurried — while the sound design sharpens every transition and detail without announcing itself.

Bruma Coffee

Bruma Coffee

Brand film · Original music · Sound design

Original music, lyrics and sound design for a coffee brand that wanted to feel intimate rather than polished. The audio treats each step of the process like a small, deliberate ritual.

Strada Eateria

Strada Eateria & Coffee

Rescore · Sound design · Transitions

A rescore that leans into the edit’s physical energy — playful, percussive, a little unpredictable. The music finds the rhythm of each cut, while sound design handles the texture and the punctuation.

Boreal Alpine

Boreal Alpine

Spec commercial · Original music · Sound design

Cold weather, high altitude, forward motion. The Drum & Bass track drives the edit with precision and weight, while the sound design adds the physical textures the image needs — without muddying the cut.

Film & Shorts
In the Nick of Time

In the Nick of Time

Short film · Original score

Guitars, rhythmic tension and a thread of dark absurdity — scored to match a short that builds dread and then deflates it into chaos. The music doesn’t explain the joke, it amplifies the unease.

Las Serpientes

Las Serpientes

Stop-motion short · Original score

A stop-motion world that balances tenderness and dread. The score holds that tension — strange, melancholic, quietly comedic — without tipping the character’s emotional fragility either way.

Music

Approach

Sound shouldn't decorate the image;
it must give it purpose, rhythm and memory.

Your project already tells a story. Audio isn't a final touch: it's designed from the start, as a creative decision that holds everything else together. I don't sell loose tracks; I build the sonic dimension your project needs to feel complete.

Common Questions

FAQ / 2026
Why original music instead of stock?
Stock is up for grabs for anyone, including whoever you're competing with. The longer you wait to sound like yourself, the easier you're making their job.
Why would I pay you when I can generate music with free AI?
AI doesn't know what your brand needs to say. I do.
Who owns the rights to original music?
The music is mine, and you get a licence built around your project. If you need full rights, we sign that off from day one, so there are no surprises halfway through.
Can you write something that sounds like a well-known reference?
Yes, I can capture the essence of your reference without copying it note for note. Cloning a copyrighted track is a legal risk, so it's better to build something that's yours alone.
What if I needed it yesterday?
That's doable, at a rush rate. Quality doesn't get sacrificed, not even for a deadline.
Can I pay you in "exposure"?
My landlord still doesn't accept exposure, so neither do I. But thanks for thinking of me.
What happens if I open and close every accordion in this FAQ at once?
Nothing breaks, I promise. But if you find an easter egg in there, let me know.
