PROJECTS
RAGTIME
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing and anything is possible.
RAGTIME tells the story of three families united by courage, compassion, and a belief in not only the American dream, but the promise of tomorrow. Andrew wrote additional dance orchestration for this Stages St. Louis production, reinstating dance breaks that were cut and adapting them for the nine-piece instrumentation.

Cinderella: A Salsa Fairytale
What will happen to Cinderella at the ball … game?
That's the surprising question in this contemporary Latin-American Cinderella musical that weaves subtle lessons on empathy, sportsmanship, and respect into an exciting, high-stakes story. This year, Andrew worked with Imagination Stage on this original musical for young audiences that broke new ground in bilingual children’s theatre, crafting new orchestrations and arrangements for their revival production.

CUSTODIAL ARTS
A disgruntled janitor convinces his unlucky co-worker to get back at their employer in the most ill-advised way.
Last summer, Andrew contributed additional scoring to Custodial Arts, a short film by the team at Pathetic Productions. Give it a watch in the Media Theater!
The Wwise Adventure Game
Giving the Audio implementation training tool a tightly narrative underscore
In the Fall 2021 semester at NYU, Andrew took a class on scoring for video games, in which he rescored the game developed by Audiokinetic and implemented that score into the game using Wwise. Beyond the requirements of the class, his score ties into the game’s narrative much more tightly and demonstrates some clever usage of the tools at hand. Read more here.

BLOSSOM TRAIL PLAYERS
THE CENTRAL VALLEY’S PREMIER NEW THEATRE GROUP
