Audio post-production is my single biggest passion. No other creative activity is so consistently fun, meditative or rewarding.
This keen interest has taken many forms over the years, including:
• Promotional radio spots.
• Radio dramas.
• An ambitious, extremely production-heavy sketch comedy podcast.
• Original background music scored across numerous PC, Mac and iOS software (with both live and sampled instruments).
• Remixes and mashups.
• Production of demos and competition entries for a local Brisbane band.
• Community radio hosting and live production.
• Awkward bedroom DJing (away from public eyes).

“Rinse Your Anxiety Away” is a relaxation tape parody written and read by Andrew McIlvaney; a gentle soundscape gradually ruined by increasingly absurd interruptions. I handled the music, soundscape and production, with particular care for syllable-by-syllable timing.
A suite for a story set on board a blimp, covering the stages of “peaceful”, “bittersweet”, “defeated” and finally – with the help of some rollicking brass – “triumphant”.
“Trial of the Time Crosser” (written by Andrey Summers, performed by Matt Cornah, produced and scored by myself) is a dramatic monologue with an ambient soundtrack.
PLEASE NOTE: this recording contains some disturbing language and themes.
It is, however, a very compelling listen, and I had a brilliant time composing a score that raised and fell with the story’s intensity.
The Vine, a video game podcast, requested a “wall of sound” showcasing soundbites from Mario and Donkey Kong games. With some Beatles, for good measure.
