Silent Orchestra News
Poe, A Dream Within A Dream released
Silent Orchestra was created in 1998 by myself and Rich O'Meara to bring silent film to a new audience. In 2016 we contributed a score for a Capital Fringe Festival production of the works of Poe. Our album of that score is available at Bandcamp and on the streaming services.

January 2020
I have some exciting projects lined up for this year. First and foremost is completion of the Silent Orchestra album, Poe: A Dream Within A Dream. I’ve also scored a bunch of animations, which I will post soon. In the meantime, here’s a found video I scored just for fun.
August 2019
There are a lot of exciting things happening in 2019. Two features are making the rounds in film festivals, Meant To Be Broken (Jonathan Zuck) and Fighting for Allergy-Free Food (Tamar Kummel). In addition to these excellent features, I also scored some short films to test drive some new virtual instruments and push my writing and arranging skills in new ways.
Here’s a brilliant little film from my hometown filmmaking troupe, DC Dogs. It showcases my jazz and action scoring. The ending is a musical love child of the main characters. Roll over Tchaikovsky…
August 2018
I'm please to announce that two shorts that I scored are among the official entries in the music category of the 2018 Burbank International Film Festival. Thanks and congratulations to Shanna Lynn, Neil Wells, Michael Liu, Jennifer Awad, Gary Ybarra and Escalante Lundy for BREATHE. Also congratulations and thanks to Joseph Pattisall and Peter Sawyer for hiring me to score THE BALLAD OF STINGY JACK. I can't wait to share these amazing films with you when they are released to the public.
