HIRE ME ¶
I work mostly as a freelancer in music and arts-related fields. In addition to being a musician and composer/sound designer, I have taught extensively. I’ve also worked in arts administration and have done various types of production work (e.g. helping planning and orchestra’s tour, organizing educational programs, score editing for various recordings & performances, etc.).
I’ve broken down the various areas where I may be of service into the following categories:
For the last 8 years I’ve been working as the musical director of theater company New Place Players. You can check out some of my work here.
I’ve also recently composed a soundtrack for a short film in my third collaboration with filmmaker Rodrigo Monterrey, which is hitting the festival circuit this fall. We were accepted to the Online New England Film Festival, which debuted in September 2020.
Most recently I worked with film composer Renaud Barbier on his latest soundtrack from the film Petit Pays. I had a dual role, helping him with all the copy for the score and parts, as well as recording on viola.
I’ve also recorded for a number of projects throughout the years. Here’s a sample of some of the albums in which I’ve played:
- Alondra de la Parra - Mi Alma Mexicana & Travieso Carmesí.
- Sonya Kitchell - This Storm.
- Lisa Bodnar - Come Hell or High Water.
- Goodbye Picasso - The Book of Aylene.
