Background

MUSICAL STORYTELLING

The most basic psychological human need is to belong. Stories make us feel like we belong, no matter who we are or where we are from.
Music has the ability to make you feel like you belong in the story world by bringing out the emotions inherent in the characters and their journeys.
I compose music that takes you on an emotional journey by combining the drama of the orchestra with modern pop production techniques.

  • Aaron brings a level of excellence to his work that makes it such a pleasure to work with him over and over again. He quickly gets to the heart of the story and knows just how to compliment and enhance the emotions through his score. His music takes my projects to the next level, drawing out the emotions and enhancing the humor. He is a skilled collaborator, taking care to understand my vision and the arc of the characters, and always creates something wonderful, exceeding my expectations.
