Home – a hybrid puppetry theater play

I wrote the score for the evening-length, beautiful hybrid theatre/puppetry/multimedia play for adults entitled Home and written by writers/directors/puppetry designers Tanya Khordoc & Barry Weil of Evolve Puppets and a 1st-rate creative team of designers and actors.

Wine Ring App Launch Video Score

My score for the launch video for the hot internet startup Wine Ring! Wine Ring has major math under the hood that makes choosing wines easy. It’s all based on what you like, not ratings, but your preferences. I had a blast working with co-founders Pam Dillon and Andrew Sussman. Oh, that’s the company Musical ID I created for them at the beginning and end too!
