COMPOSERS NOTES
In crafting the score to the 2023 release of TORN, I explored the sonic world that combined acoustic instruments, sound design, and synthesized elements. Several instruments were designed specifically to craft the textured soundscapes and emotional lyrical themes.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
As I stepped into my first music spotting session for "Torn" with Scott, I anticipated his usual mix of talent and enthusiasm. But what unfolded exceeded my hopes, offering not just collaboration but a true partner in storytelling. Scott's knack for layering the narrative with nuance invites me to revisit his score time and again, discovering fresh layers of depth with each listen. With his music, the story takes on a life of its own, intertwining seamlessly with every plot twist and character arc. Together, we're crafting a journey where every note evokes emotion and every melody hints at intrigue, painting a rich tapestry of sound and sensation.
