NOVA: Astrospies

I composed the music and created the sound design for this episode of Nova on PBS. It aired in February 2008 and was directed by C. Scott Willis. The episode revealed a secret parallel space program the government initiated in the 1960’Äôs to launch manned spy satellites.


To the right you’Äôll find an excerpt from the program.

You can view the entire episode here.


Here are a few more music samples:

excerpt #1 - Astrospies - Race to Space and Zero G

excerpt #2 - Astrospies - Russians

excerpt #3 - Astrospies - From Above

excerpt #4 - Astrospies - End Credits



NOVA: The Spy Factory

This is the second episode of Nova for which I composed the music and created the sound design. It aired in February 2009 and was directed by C. Scott Willis. The program explored the NSA’Äôs knowledge leading up to the attacks on 9/11, and their response that followed.

Fair Game Theme

From 2006-2008 I worked on a public radio program called Fair Game. It was produced and distributed by Public Radio International (PRI) and hosted by Faith Salie. While there, I created many musical bumpers for the show, in addition to composing the show’Äôs theme music.


Beyond Computers Theme

In 1996 I composed the theme music for a radio program about technology for a company called SNP Communications. The program was distributed to nationally to public radio stations by Public Radio International (PRI).


Shades of Gray

I composed all of the music heard in a radio documentary about abortion called Shades of Gray, a program which I also co-executive produced. It was distributed by PRI and premiered in January 2003.


The Sims & The Sims 2

In 1998 and again in 2001, I made a series of commercial parodies heard when you turn on the T.V. in the computer games The Sims and The Sims 2. The samples to the left are all from the first Sims game.


The Trouble with Key of G

My master’Äôs thesis at Mills College (completed in 1996) was a 45-minute audio drama, which combined actors, interviews, and found sound with original music and rich sound design.
