Mashterpiece Theater
Mashups are commonplace on the internet, so I wanted to create something more. I edited these videos together to teach myself the software and understand how editing works, and it became an obsession for a while. The idea is to create something genuinely novel by mixing songs and videos so they feel like they were always meant to be together.

Swiftknot
What started as a joke quickly became one of my favorite things to edit. I noticed that Taylor Swift’s music and videos can often be much more intense and darker than what I’d always imagined. And being a fan of Slipknot, I had their music in my mind while watching some of her videos. After the first one proved to be a lot of fun, I couldn’t stop myself from creating several more.
Symphoniacal
Symphoniacal is an epic homage to the most powerful and moving musical scores in television, film, and video games. Like so many other people, I grew up watching movies and playing video games. I spent countless hours listening to everything from classical music to heavy metal, and was a performing musician for several years. Consequently, Symphoniacal is much more than a compilation of my favorite songs. I have tried to use my love for certain forms of entertainment along with my understanding of musical composition to combine dozens of songs, sound effects, and audio clips into a single piece of music. It is a musical collage that is intended to be an experience just like watching a movie.
