I compose original music for video - movies, television, animation, documentaries, brand films, ads, trailers, games and all forms of streaming content.
Short-format video a speciality.
Clients include: Chanel, Vans, Lush \\ HBO, BBC, Discovery.
Sound design / music / audio. Whatever serves the narrative.
My first commission was Lonely Planet Guides in 1997, when it was the world’s most watched travel series.
So I’ve done this for 25 years. From action movie music to classical ambience, I deliver original soundtracks, written to picture, on budget, on time, at the highest quality.
As one of very few professional female composers - around 4% in 2020 in the US - I offer a refreshing perspective. It’s generally agreed that women are more likely to be in touch with their emotions. Music is all about emotions, and film soundtracks steer the emotional content of the narrative. That’s what film music does.
Always been mystified why 96% of composers are male, with this in mind. Don’t get it.
No idea what percentage of sound designers are female, but my guess is, it’s lower. So weird, no idea why.
Anyway, I’ve done this stuff…
