deadmau5 - science feat. Stevie Appleton
Sakunera Remix
My submission for the deadmau5 remix contest. Sounds sick in the car. Turn it up!
The Midnight - Runaways feat Bonnie McKee
Sakunera Remix
My submission for a remix contest hosted by The Midnight. The bassline honestly makes me want to dance.

The score for June Buchan’s VCE Drama exam. The performance is heavily inspired by Butoh, a form of Japanese dance.
Kid Pix Theme Song
Sakunera Remix
A little mess around for the drinksonme remix challenge:)
High Score
Demo Derby Pitch 2025
High Score hosted an event where composers could present a mock pitch to the actual developer of these titles. I had about a week to write something that encapsulated the energy and aesthetic of the game.
Submitted this pitch for live feedback during High Score 2025. Unfortunately wasn’t selected to be discussed live on stage.
High Score
Co-Op 2024 FMOD Demo
In November 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in APRA AMCOS's High Score Co-Op event (Curated by Timothy Sunderland), where I was partnered with the wonderful Sam Martin for two days to score a section of Broken Roads, a video game by Drop Bear Bytes.
This video shows 3 different musical themes dynamically adjusting to the context the player is in. The composition of all three pieces had to consider transitioning between the three locations in immersive and musical context.
2 Hour Album Challenge
A challenge I have been taking part in for a few years now. Each track is written in a two hour timeframe to a randomly chosen theme. Tracks are then sold on Bandcamp to raise money for cat charity!
