Jumbie Anime Intro
Explanation:
The goal of this project was to create an intro theme song that encompassed the feeling and experience of what the creator wanted for his anime. It’s something we wanted to get right because it is the very thing that greets the audience into the anime. Working alongside a vocalist, we came up with a sound that had kind of large-ness of a trailer as well as the rhythm of the Caribbean.

Volvo Corporate Presentation
Explanation:
I received 3 of these video presentations from Volvo Caribbean. Each came with a different set of issues as the dialogue was recorded from afar. The main task was removing background noise as well as maintaining the proper levels for the speaker as to not distort the audio or disappear from the audio suddenly. After that was dealt with, it was just a matter of mixing and mastering the dialogue and the music track together.

In this short, all of the SFX and audio were done by me and inputted manually. One of the last scenes where there is a song playing was recorded by myself with a field recorder while walking around. It was a song playing through a kitchen restaurant’s window.
Indie Album Production
Explanation:
The artist on these 3 sample tracks wanted to attempt a genre they had never done before. They came to me hoping I could help them write as well produce it. The challenges were mainly in the composition process, coming up with the different sections as well as getting them to flow into one another. From a technical side, the most difficult part of mixing was getting the album sounding like one project. In the end, the artist and I were happy with the outcome.

Lifestyle app
Explanation:
The samples are from a lifestyle app created by the South Sudanese artist, Emmanuel Jal. His goal was to create an app where users can access stories and meditations that contribute to positive habit building. The difficulty of this project lie in the recording process. We would record in his guest bedroom at the time, 3-4 days a week for some months.
