Pua Ka Uahi
I composed the score for Kalilinoe Detwiler's animated short film, Pua Ka Uahi. Inspired by Hawaiian legend (moʻolelo), the short follows Pele, a hot-tempered fire goddess as she races from Puna to Hilo against her rival Kamapuaʻa, the shapeshifting trickster.
is a collection of short videos I recorded and scored in celebration of the splendor hidden within the seemingly humdrum objects and scenes of the everyday.
Beyond the Waking Realm
An orchestral suite inspired by memories mingled with imagination. This collection of orchestral shorts conjures the ominous atmospheres and images one might encounter outside of the realm of consciousness.
