Objective:
Sound shapes the way we experience stories. It can amplify emotion, define atmosphere, and give life to moments that words or visuals alone cannot fully capture.
In film, television, games, and visual media, music and sound design serve as invisible storytellers. They build tension, guide the narrative, and create a sense of immersion. A single note can carry weight, a rhythm can echo a heartbeat, and a melody can linger like a memory.
With over two decades of experience as a musician and sound enthusiast, I approach audio storytelling with the same care and precision as crafting a visual narrative. From composing original music to designing soundscapes, I explore how sound can evoke emotion and enhance the story being told.
It’s about finding the harmony between what we see and what we hear, and using that connection to create experiences that resonate long after the final moment.

The Fourth Kind
(Close Encounters)
Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind refer to alleged alien abductions or direct physical contact between humans and extraterrestrial beings. This term was coined by Dr. J. Allen Hynek in his 1972 book “The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry.”
It is the most extreme category of close encounters with UFOs, following visual sightings (First Kind), physical evidence (Second Kind), and direct contact with UFO occupants (Third Kind). Reports of Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind often involve claims of alien abductions, medical experiments, telepathic communication, and
onboard UFO experiences.

Something Wicked
As a dedicated enthusiast of compelling horror films and narratives, I've long aspired to create my own score for a horror scene. To explore this passion, I produced a short clip purely for the enjoyment of it.
The phrase "Something wicked this way comes" is a notable line from Act IV, Scene I of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Spoken by one of the witches, it signals the arrival of Macbeth, who has become increasingly malevolent and corrupt. The line captures a sense of foreboding and evil, encapsulating the play's exploration of darkness and ambition.
