“IF”, 2007
Teressa Tunney’s “IF” is a powerful short film about the relationship of two gangsters in New York City’s Chinatown. I wrote the score for this film, which should be distributed starting in late 2007. Here are some previews of the music:

Street Chase

End

“Mata”, 2006
I wrote the score to a short film directed by Will Graham called “Mata” - about a mother’s confrontation with her son’s bully. It was an official selection for four different Film Festivals: New York City Shorts, L.A. International Shorts, Woodstock, and Williamstown. The score was composed entirely for percussion quartet and recorded by the Line C3 Percussion Group. Released 2006, 10 Minutes. Full credits here, and here are a couple excerpts:

Victim/Prayer

Fighting Dirty

Mother and children

Tone of Voice, 2003
I wrote some music to be used during the credit sequence of longtime friend Bill Hooper’s comic short “Tone of Voice.” Since the punchline of the film involved phones and fax machines, we thought it would be funny to create some faux-electronic music that addressed this directly. It turned out to be a fun project and a challenge to create a piece using manipulated phone and fax sounds almost exclusively for its musical material. Here are two versions:
