The Process

Nine steps. No surprises.

A dependable scoring process built for production realities — deadlines, revisions, and picture changes included.

01

Discovery & Brief

We learn your story, characters, and the emotion each scene needs to carry. You share what you have — a logline, a locked cut, references — and we ask the questions that matter.

Deliverable

A shared understanding of the musical brief

02

Spotting Session

Together we decide where music speaks and where silence does the work. We map every cue to its dramatic purpose before a note is written.

Deliverable

A spotting list and creative direction

03

Theme Development

Initial concepts and motifs — the musical identity of your world, sketched fast so you can react to real music, not a description of it.

Deliverable

Theme demos for approval

04

Cue-by-Cue Composition

Approved themes are developed across the full score, cue by cue, with high-quality mockups at every step.

Deliverable

Complete score in demo form

05

Production & Recording

Orchestration, live or virtual performance, and full production — scaled to your budget and the sound the story needs.

Deliverable

Produced score

06

Mix

Every cue is mixed for clarity and emotion — the score sits in the picture, never fights it.

Deliverable

Final mixed cues

07

Master & Deliver

Final masters, stems, alternates, loops, and cue sheets — archive-ready and labeled for your post team.

08

Revisions & Picture Changes

Picture changes happen. We re-conform and revise quickly so the score stays locked to the cut.

Deliverable

Updated cues

09

Final Archive

A complete, organized archive of every cue, stem, and version — so the score is ready for sequels, trailers, and future use.
