Today, I'm going to be writing some additional music for my cinematic, action-adventure music pack I'm working on titled, TREK. Here you'll get to see an unfiltered look into my composing process. But before we dive into a little of that, I'm going to talk about how intentional instrumentation and orchestration can directly support your story/game. If you are keen for it, hop in, join the conversation, and let's make some cool music together!

Howdy! My name is Keagan and I write music for films and video games.
I started this channel originally in high school to document my musical and artistic journey, but now I’m creating the ultimate composing resource that I wish I had when I was just starting out.
