Original music composition for film, television, and advertising.
Working with Reese was both seamless and inspiring. We needed original music for several TV commercials, and he delivered standout tracks that were not only distinctive and memorable, but also perfectly matched to the tone, pacing, and emotion of each spot.

I've had the pleasure of working with Reese on several projects at various locations. What always blows me away is how Reese seamlessly takes control of the studio as if it were his own. Not to mention, his knack for always knowing the missing ingredient of an audio production is uncanny.
