Short Film "Like Right Now" RELEASED

in

Along with The Legend Of Mindi , I also composed for another short film at the same time. This one is called Like Right Now , Directed by Russell Eresmas and Mindi herself Dianne Mahoney. The story tells of Martin, an average guy who learns an important lesson about the consequences of time travelling.

  

It was hard not to laugh during the recording process but eventually it all worked out and here is the final product! Hope you all enjoy my 80's party music!

Short Film "The Legend of Mindi" RELEASED

in ,

Back in July, I composed for a short film called The Legend of Mindi. The film tells a story about Mindi, a gamer, whose quest is to find a job while at the same time, battling her own with difficulties with cognitive and behavioural skills. She associates the challenges and difficulties that she faces along the way with the challenges she faces in video games, and in her own world finds determination and courage.

Now the Storyhive version is finally out! Here it is!

Thank you Alpacalypse for the opportunity and Storyhive by Telus for making this happen!

Ignition - Shawn X.G

in

Initially a composition made for a client, "Ignition" is my first composition made with mainly electronic instruments. The song was inspired by my interest in cars and driving. I wanted to make a song that fits in the moment of those fun weekend cruises, drives past winding mountain paths, and the feel of the engine rev.
