About Joseph
I'm an LA-based composer, sound designer, and audio mixer. Working with a number of different music agencies, I typically create custom music for ads and sonic branding campaigns, but I also score for podcast and film. Beyond my custom music work, I'm known for having an indie rock band called Peel Dream Magazine.
I specialize in indie-leaning, minimalist music with organic and electronic textures, and I'm a classically trained pianist (my other primary instrument is guitar). I'm equally comfortable working in Logic as I am in Pro Tools, and I use the latter for audio editing.
As an avid podcast listener, I'm interested in doing more work in that space, whether its composing, editing/mixing, sound design or all of the above. I've written both theme and interstitial podcast music, and drawn on a vast personal sound effect library to create immersive sound design.
My portfolio has examples of my work as well as a music library, and I'd encourage everyone to check it out. Some notable highlights from my CV include an Audible Originals series that did original score and sound design for, "Uninterrupted Presents: Solo" which was produced by Lebron James' The SpringHill Company, as well as a feature film starring Stavros Halkias which is currently on Hulu, "Let's Start A Cult".
Joseph 's Portfolio
Original Music Library
Six Part Audible Originals series produced by Lebron James' The SpringHill Company, about various US athletes that have competed in the Olympics. I was the composer and sound designer for this series, where each subject had a unique musical palette and identity ranging from orchestral to soul and even country.
Currently streaming on Hulu, this feature film stars comedian Stavros Halkias. For this, I created an original score using a traditional, orchestral cinematic palette as well as heartfelt indie-folk elements such as acoustic guitar and trumpet.
Working with Premier Music Group, I revamped the classic flooring company jingle into a millennial stomp-clap song
Composed a glitchy original score for mailchimp’s “Guess Less, Sell More” ad campaign, which used psychedelic storytelling to create something quirky and memorable. I used a “switched on” sound palette with synthesizers and 70s era drum machines.
