HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I got to do a teeny music edit on this wintry greeting from The DC Group, commemorating the company’s support of the Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund.
As often happens, my job was to make it sound like no work had been done at all. The fade-out of the music was originally a transition into another part, and the extant fadeout didn’t seem to resolve in a satisfying way. I lengthened the final chord, eventually bringing in a piano note from a virtual instument library to add a bit of helft to the resolution.
Thanks to Snap Communications for the opportunity. All the best to you and yours this holiday season!
Two layers of some recent Foley work.
The task was to create the sound of a mouse scampering around in a glass jar. These two videos are performances of separate layers I had in mind-- tapping a glass jar with a light wooden stir stick to represent claws against the glass…
…and manipulation of a paper towel for fur movement.
Completely absurd at full volume, but useful when mixed in right on the verge of perception.

I was honored to edit music and VO, design sound and mix for the video component of The One Forum conference in 2019— hosted by Be The Match, a non-profit organization operated by the National Marrow Donor Program and dedicated to helping patients obtain life-saving transplants.
The video below, narrated by LeVar Burton, launched Day 2 of the conference.
I’m really happy with the mix on the above video, and I think it’s a lovely piece overall, so I thought I’d share it first. But he Day One kickoff video below, also voiced by LeVarBurton, definitely has more sound design treats:
From what I hear the videos were well-received, and the conference was a smashing success. Grateful to have been a part of it.
