This is a horror music score to animated video i did in 2012

Music score to animated video i did in 2012. It's in the style of mickey mousing where the music almost completely works to mimic the animated motions of the characters.

This is a work example I did in 2013. Music score to the film "No country for old men".

Work example on sound design for a Pirelli commercial.
