Big drama, organic. Solo clarinet keens over a tense wind and string ensemble. Rich orchestration meets deconstructed effects of waterphone and delay treatments.
Dramatic underscore. Otherworldly voices assemble into a cycling backdrop. Traditional woodwind melodies emerge, lending new structure, but equally eerie.
Brash brass. This theme is now committed to a podcast. Barreling four-on-the-floor confidence; fluttering nervous woodwind counterpoint.
An evolving electric overture for screenwriter Peter Hanrahan’s thriller, Starboard. Inspired by hulls, engines, stars, light over the waves, and the darkness beneath. A study in contrasts: murky overload and brilliant airiness; stretched, lyrical melodies over machine-like bass automations; like cabin fever on the open sea.
Theme composed for a friend’s medical thriller series pilot script. Evolving synth textures, a hummable hook, mechanical layers… on a cloud.
Ambient bed of felted piano, guitar, and harp-like electronics. As if George Winston’s piano were shoved out to sea, now with musical barnacles. Also for the Starboard script.
Horror underscore. A dusty martial trumpet leads into something all at once score-y, theme-y and sound design-y. Plus a jump scare or two!
Recently earmarked for the film Lowlands, “Aeromedica” features sweeping, dissonant atmospherics grounded by acoustic percussion. Originally composed as the backdrop for an experimental radio play voiced by Matt’s band The Jenny Thing on their album American Canyon.
