Hey there! I’m Robert — a composer, YouTuber, and
creator of the Composer Odyssey, dedicated to the
craft of orchestral music for animation and cinematic
musical storytelling.
I believe the best stories are the ones that stay with us…the ones that connect with us at our core. As a composer, my goal is to find the musical voice that makes those moments feel effortless.
On my YouTube channel and through the Composer Odyssey, I focus on deconstructing the "why" behind the world’s most impactful scores. I bring that same level of narrative precision to every project I score, ensuring that every theme serves your vision and every note has a purpose in moving the story forward.
Beyond my own writing, I’m a tutor for the ThinkSpace Orchestral Composition Bootcamp. In this role, I help fellow composers navigate the complexities of the orchestra and refine their own musical voices. Teaching the craft to others keeps my own skills sharp and ensures I'm always looking at music through the lens of clarity and emotional impact.
I’m a firm believer that the best work comes from a place of heart and shared excitement. I’m not just looking to provide a service. I’m looking to be a partner in your creative process who cares about your story’s soul as much as you do!
Robert’s composer recipes document has been an amazing tool for me to focus my thoughts and overcome writer’s block. If a director’s spotting sheet says “action,” for example, and I get stuck, I know just where to turn. Plus, Robert is a great guy and an inspiring educator. I learned a ton from him at the Composing Career Boot Camp. Stuck? Go to Robert!
Robert's Youtube content is very inspiring for me as an aspiring composer. He always provides motivation for me to start reaching out more or working on my portfolio.
I had a 1-on1 session with him that really helped clarify what my immediate next steps are for success and since the meeting I have already started taking those steps.
Robert understands the challenges that composers face at different stages of their journey. I appreciated his advice to take specific and conrete steps daily towards my own goals. His YouTube videos also offer a lot of inspiration and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks, Robert!
I've had the privilege of working with over 100 composers through the ThinkSpace Education Orchestral Composition Bootcamp and collaborating with leading sample developers like Cinesamples, EastWest, and Westwood Instruments.
These experiences, along with my own journey as a composer, give me a deep understanding of the tools, techniques, and challenges involved in crafting a successful career in music.
With over 6K+ subscribers on YouTube, I help you hear music like a storyteller, so you can write more confidently and with deeper intention.
Start, develop, and finish music that sounds like you.
