Good Fishing SS23 Trailer
This song for Good Fishing’s Spring/Summer 2023 Collection teaser captures a motorcycle’s free-flowing journey over a dusty road. The echo at the end ushers the piece into the future, complementing the forward motion of the visual.
Good Fishing FW23 Trailer
The soundtrack to Good Fishing’s Fall/Winter 2023 Teaser is derived from a mood board encapsulated by the brand’s accompanying text to the collection: “Amplitude; a study of ebb and flow.”. I wrote the piano melody after learning of some sad family news, alone in the dark with the screen of the electric keyboard turned off. I then worked with the brand to leave certain chords slightly out of rhythem, to let the melody ebb and flow on the beat. The drums are inspired by Yusef Lateef’s Love Theme From The Robe - Rudy Van Gelder Remaster.
Vincent Miranda x Good Fishing for NTWRK
Vincent Miranda’s collaboration with Good Fishing was fresh, colorful, and physically conspicuous with its silicone floral shapes bursting from an all-cotton tee. I went with a synth sound that reminded me of lemonade and let the drums come into focus as the camera zooms into Vincent’s hands leading the work. This trailer was published on NTWRK’s livestream shopping platform to promote Good Fishing’s exclusive artist interview / launch event for this collaboration.
Another Cast: A Short Film by Good Fishing
Good Fishing’s short film Another Cast showcased vignettes inspired by the creators behind the brand - lemonade by the pool, conversations in the studio, and casual moments driving through town. Sunny electric piano and goth-rock inspired drums are the key elements of this 4-song soundtrack.

COMMERCIAL Samples
These are samples of song ideas that could accompany social media, commercial, or long-form projects.
Branding Sample 1 - Jelly Jam
Jelly jam feels smooth - electric piano chords revolve around a pulsating bass, with notes of summer.
Branding Sample 2 - The Tunnel
The first part of this tune feels like a speeding car heading towards a tunnel. Once inside distorted bass comes out of nowhere, directing a new energy.
