SCORE BREAKDOWN - HOUSE OF REJECTS
Scored this animated pilot last year for @balbert_art . We talked a lot about the jazzy influences of Pixar movies like Monsters Inc. Being limited and not able to use live instruments, I flipped a lot of horn and drum samples with backing midi instruments and pianos to make the composition sound full.
Super proud of my work on this and I know Brian and his team worked really hard to bring it to life.
House of Rejects out now!

SCORE BREAKDOWN - PASTEL
My second film working with @jacksoncoatesfilm back in 2023. This was a really difficult film to sonically pin down, but this was the song that first clicked. Combining a somewhat sinister and mysterious piano melody with abrasive driving bass gave us a unique sound to bring to the rest of the film. Ended up winning Best Score at Premiere Film Fest for this, and super proud of the work!

BEHIND THE SCORE - CITY LIGHTS
Directed and Animated by @cadegraphics
Another one from back in 2023. One of the rare times music came before the visuals. Cade asked if I had any spare music and we spent a couple hours wading through my drafts until we landed on this. After seeing his animatics I made some adjustments, but more than anything it was inspiring to see what Cade did with I song I thought would never see the light of day.
Go to Cade’s page for the full video and other awesome animations!

SCORE BREAKDOWN - HOW TO STOP YOUR PARENTS FROM ARGUING
A 48 hour film I did with @nadiafre1tag@arryanajocelyn@jackson_coates@haydonmayer@karson.kane and @spencermilligan back in 2023.
An absolutely chaotic weekend working on this, and my first experience making a score under this much of a time crunch. Super proud of the what we did!
🐀🌃 4ever thank you Thompson

LET’S START OVER… SCORE BREAKDOWN
We went through at like 5 or 6 drafts of this song before arriving here. Continuing the trend of arpeggiated basses, vocal samples, and heavy dance pop influence we finally locked into this one.
