Music Composition
My Musical Journey
I've always nurtured a deep love for Classical Music Performance and Composition. In many ways, my understanding of music has made me a better filmmaker. Both require strong storytelling skills as well as an understanding of pacing, timing, and emotional resonance. I'm classically trained on the piano and have been playing for 19 years. A list of my current composition projects are listed below. Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate! I would like to thank my composition mentors Stella Sung and Matthew Evan Taylor for their insights on my early pieces as well as Anna Arazi for helping me refine my piano technique/performance.
