Education, Other
    uniE613 Veters van Ampersand
    I scored a student film based on a South African superstition. The score incorporated vocal manipulations and synth programming.
    uniE613 Warrior Tribes
    I created an album of trailer tracks heavily built on African percussion and vocals. This album is available through Mama Dance Music Solutions.
    uniE613 Night of the Iguana
    I created the musical soundscape for Abrahamse & Meyer’s production of Night of the Iguana in 2019. As the show’s presentation was influenced by traditional Japanese Noh, the score had to represent the environment without coming across as sound effects.
