Joined forces with a Team of Trailer Composers - Demented Sound Mafia

After pitching my trailer composition to a company with a great credentials and placements, I was accepted under the brand name to become a freelance composer and compose music towards film and video game advertisement. The company, Songs To Your Eyes, then invited me to join a brand they have built for the last 8 years. This entity has proven to be a strong force in this trailer composition realm and is often sought out by some of the biggest clientele for their A List titled movies and games. The brand, Demented Sound Mafia, "is a collective of extremely talented Composers & Sound Designers that push the boundaries of today’s Motion Picture Advertising music & sound design."-STYE I have since completed my first album under this team titles "Tribulation Volume 8."

Far Cry 4- Video Game (Trailer Placement)

This marks my first video game trailer to feature some of my work. Being a lifelong gamer, this was one of my prized placements and something I'm still excited about! Many more to come as my bar has been set higher

Interviewed by the Daily Toreador (Texas Tech University's paper)

Tech student composes, produces music - The Daily Toreador: La Vida I was approached to do an interview with the University's paper. I was honored to have been recognized and hesitated at first, but thought it would be a great way of expressing the fact that "dreams" aren't just that, but can become reality with the work put in. Nothing seems to be far out of reach, and especially if somebody is already doing what you wished/dreamed you could do, that should be held as PROOF that it can be done! This was my first "ink" on my career.

TV spot (commercial) Placement

About mid 2014, my music was placed in a commercial for a Kohler touchless product (due to the sensitivity/disclosure, I really couldnt give out the exact one) but "touchless" may give a good hint.

Trailer Composition Reel #1

This is the first trailer composition, really full on trailer composition that I put together/composed. This trailer realm had also seemed so far fetched for me since I believed the composers doing it where from another planet due to the sounds they had access to! I used this reel to pitch to the ears of companies and entities in this area of marketing for movie/video game trailers.

Composer Reel #1

This is the first composition that I composed to try and get myself established in this realm. This composition (film/video games/trailers) genre had always been so far fetched in my mind since I was under the impression that I have to be equivalent to composers/musicians in the likes of Mozart and Beethoven just to even be a part of it. This "composition reel" is what I put together to start pitching my work into the ears of this genre. I followed up the video reel with some placements I've landed to show that I have been busy in other areas of the music world.

A quick look back of some placements earned in the TV & Media realm

As of 2013-2014. Busy Busy years....

GodF1rst Clothing Line

Earlier part of 2014 I linked up with a clothing line, who has so much planned aside from clothing, called GodF1rst. This movement is amazing all around, and their main focus of spreading the word is amazing. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the future. I created a few composition/cue pieces of music for their video content. Due to time, I was able to get a few of them done and look forward to doing more for them in the near future. Here are a few of the collaborations that were done.

Xbox One's "Every Street United" (Trailer)

Back in the earlier/mid part of 2014 I landed some work/composition for a trailer based on a show that aired on Xbox Live. The rapping was done by Fredrick Taylor (Toxic). Here is the end result.

Over a YEAR that I haven't posted...

Hello to anyONE who may still visit this page. I have been beyond busy and almost forgot I had this blogspot put up to document my progress in this music realm. A lot has happened since my last post. I have also switched gears and made my way into the composition side of things. I have been training myself in orchestration, instrumentation, music theory, arrangement, and many other things. I finally started the process of composing orchestration type pieces mixed with hybrid elements (electronic: synths, sound effects, etc). I was able to compose a few pieces and get them around and into the ears of some people who specialize in this realm and got an amazing response. I was invited into composing specific pieces as well as opportunities for further opportunities. This has been one of my biggest focuses in my whole journey, as composition is the real reason behind my madness. I grew up a gamer and have always been emerged into movies for as long as I can remember. I always told myself that one day I would somehow learn music and conduct an orchestra performing my own composition. So now that I have grown older and wiser, this is truly one of the biggest goals I have set for myself. I will act as If I hadn't skipped any time posting and start to post other portions of my career that have happened. Thanks again for stopping by for the read.
