Artist History David has three years' experience writing music for film, games, and multi-media projects. While working towards his Bachelor's degree in Music composition at UCSC, he also concurrently completed a 3 year program in Electronic Sound Synthesis. Following that, he completed the internationally renowned Film Scoring program at UCLA, where he studied under composers such as Bob Drasnin (Twilight Zone, Mission Impossible), Charles Bernstein (Nightmare on Elm Street), and Gerry Fried (Roots). He also had the opportunity to study orchestration under Steven Scott Smalley (Jurassic Park, Batman Returns). With several short film and computer game credits to his name, David understands the need to fit the music to match the director's vision and the producer's budget. He works rapidly and diligently and goes to great pains to assure that each cue is written to his high standards of quality and utility.
