Film Score
Film Scores have always sparked my imagination and left indelible marks on my impression of the movies they accompany. I grew up humming the themes of Williams and Silvestri - I was inspired by how the scores made me feel.
When I approach a score, I want to find the excitement and drama of the scene, while also aiming to make the music something that can stand on it's own. The music needs to tell a story too - not a commentary on the film - but a voice.
Most importantly, I want my scores to be fun. I want people to hear my score and have it take them back to that moment in the film and that feeling from it like when you're young and everything feels bright and intense.
All my score are performed, programmed and mixed by me.

Gubtboy, A Badtime Story
Feature Film - Orchestral Score
A flayed man teams up with a vengeful mermaid to prank the corrupt forces of law, order and the free market... to death.
Produced by Gabriel Grant.
Written and Directed by Nick Grant
DP and Edited by Sean Hardaway
Music by Cormac Bluestone
This strange movie starring primarily puppets is definitely one of the weirdest films, if not the weirdest you'll ever see. Fun songs, a twisted story and a team of Brooklyn puppeteers come together to create this truly unique feature film. Follow Gutboy on Facbook here.
“Gutboy is a triplike piece of weirdness that defies all sorts of logic - and that’s exactly why it works so well: The movie really takes one to a place where the laws of nature don’t necessarily comply and goes about it with an anything-goes attitude - which is also mirrored in the film’s puppets and its music (yes, there are song-and-dance scenes), and its very macabre brand of humour. ”
The Untitled Gorilla Project
Short Film
A day where everything goes wrong on the set of TV commercial, and the lengths the crew must go through to get it 'in the can.
Produced by Acorn Pictures
Directed by Odin Ozdil
The Untitled Gorilla Project was a fun score to put together. I worked with a director who gave me free rein and an editor who picked terrific temp music. We wanted an upbeat score that sounded hip and cool - something that would fun to listen to and embody the ups and down of a Hollywood film crew.
