“My Little Pony: Equestria Girls” (produced by Hasbro Studios and DHX Media) is an animated series I worked on with series composer William Anderson. The first movie was released in June 2013, and more content is available on YouTube. These tracks are from various digital shorts.
“Water” is a 2018 digital children’s book (available via iBooks/Apple books) that I wrote original music for. The story was written by Theresa Patten-Koeckert, and the illustrations/animation were done by Joshua Lam of Running Deer Publishing. (https://www.rdpbooks.com/) You can buy “Water” here, and you can also listen to all the music on Soundcloud.
“Lily” (directed by Adrienne Gruben) is a short documentary about Lily Renee that I scored with William Anderson in 2018, and which premiered at Comic Con 2018. Most recently it screened at Zed Fest in Los Angeles, CA on November 7, 2019. For more information on “Lily,” go to its IMDb page. You can also listen to the full score on Soundcloud.
“Following the Golden Arrow” (directed by Benjamin Atkinson and Brandon Schiffli) is an hour-long World War II documentary I scored in 2014.

“The Knife Thrower’s Apprentice” (directed by Ryan K. McNeal) is a short film I scored in 2011. This excerpt is from the main titles at the beginning of the film. The score was recorded at Capitol Records in Hollywood with a full orchestra of session musicians. You can watch the entire short film in my Videos section, or listen to the full score on Soundcloud.
“The Coffers” (directed by Eric Wilson) is a short film I scored in 2012. This music is from a montage/flashback in the middle of the film. The score was recorded at Umbrella Media in Los Angeles with a small ensemble of session musicians. It was nominated for a Best Soundtrack award at the 2013 Madrid International Film Festival, and won a Silver Medal/Jury Choice award for Best Impact of Music in a Short Film at the 2014 Park City Film Music Festival.
