Playing with MONARK 80s analog synthesizer sounds today (such sounds were used extensively in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things particularly for the main theme to that television show).

Completed Course in Film/TV Composing
I just completed my course in composing for film and TV from Berklee College of Music.
Here is my audio demo reel and my video playlist of my assignment compositions:

Filmmaking
I (as Boreal Pictures) was a Producer and was the screenwriter of this short film, THE NOTEBOOK, a film about the atrocities committed by Nazis in the Jewish concentration camps. The screenplay was actually an assignment I did for a class in screenwriter taught by Karl Iglesias (author of Writing for Emotional Impact). I produced this film along with my friend Kyle Kallenbach who directed the film. This is a screenshot of the five minute version of the original almost ten minute film that I edited down to five minutes to shorten the film. The film will be in the 2019 Duluth Short Shorts Film Festival Feb 16.
This is a short horror film from 2009 I wrote, directed, produced, edited. Seeing Hope.
Thrill
Just snagged a composing library for live horror / thriller film scoring known as THRILL. Huge orchestral and found sounds possibilities for creating tonal and atonal dissonant soundscapes for scoring scenes in scary films.
Film & TV Composing
Several scored scenes from an academic course I completed in film and television scoring at Berklee College of Music. These were class assignments. Also a few compositions I created out of thin air for practice (those with still image). I am in no way associated with the actual films for which these scenes were used in the Berklee assignments. They show my ability to score film scene cues in a variety of film genres. The scenes had no music in the original clips, they were for students like me to create original music for, to score the scenes:

I like to compose music, especially soundtrack genre compositions. My tools include Sibelius and MuseScore notation software, Reaper as my sequencer (=Digital Audio Workstations or DAW) and for notation mock-ups, MIDI keyboards, and a KORG nanoKontrol Studio mixing board. I use many sampled instruments to compose, including EWQL Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, Spitfire Audio’s Hans Zimmer Strings, Spitfire’s Albion One / Tundra / Iceni orchestral libraries, BBC Symphonic Orchestra library from SpitfireAudio, Audiobro’s Symphony Series libraries, and Heavocity’s FORZO and NOVO libraries.
