About

Music editor/composer working in Pro Tools and Cubase with experience on BBC's "Mammals" (including BTS segments), shaping documentary storytelling through stem-based edits, custom tension builds, and thematic payoffs. Blends technical mix discipline (headroom, -13 to -15 LUFS targets, QC) with hands-on sound design—recording and transforming original sounds into bespoke SFX using synths, plugins, and pedals.

Key Strengths

  • Narrative-driven music editing to shape emotion and pacing in documentary content
  • Advanced tension-building techniques (clusters, dissonance, instrument choice, micro-timed hits)
  • Able to patch/extend existing cues by writing quick supplemental parts to make transitions seamless
  • Strong dialogue-first mixing instincts (keeps music from masking speech)
  • Consistent loudness/level management with clear targets (-13 to -15 LUFS) and headroom discipline
  • Creates original SFX via recording + synthesis/manipulation rather than relying only on libraries
  • Fast iteration and responsiveness to late notes while maintaining QC standards
  • Collaborative delivery mindset (bussing/grouping per engineer direction; avoids overly wide busses)
  • Interprets subjective producer feedback and translates it into concrete audio changes (e.g., removing bells, replacing with piano)
