As a Seattle based composer I create music for film, documentary, animation, television and video projects.

This web site includes links to Audio music samples, my YouTube Trailers, IMDB page , The Moyer Foundation Camp Erin PSA video, a Biographical sketch, and News with updates on recent and current projects.

Film scoring is a collaborative, creative process between the film director and music composer. Capturing the right style, texture and mood of the music involves viewing a film, reading the screenplay and discussing ideas to thoroughly understand the director's objectives and vision for the film. I have had the pleasure of working with several directors and truly enjoyed scoring music for their films.

" Love your music!"
A.G. Nigrin,-Executive Director, The Rutgers Film Co-op/ New Jersey Media Arts Center and New Jersey Film Festival.

 

“ I don't know if it's because the music came last, or because it plays with and against the story so well, but the music is my favorite part of Alistair.
I'm so glad that others are hearing what I heard. Congrats to you and to all of us!”
Andy Spletzer-Director and Script Supervisor

 

“Nan is an amazing and highly talented music composer. She's an artist who has the ability to understand and intuit the subtle meaning in a complex film. She produced a score for my film that greatly enhanced the mood and imagery, I will work with her again on any project”.
Greg Kerr- Director and Filmmaker

 

“I loved the music for Mr. Chatterbox.  I would compare it to a Fellini film.
The music shared between Oliver and the blind girl is like a love letter to Nino Rota- charming yet poignant, playful yet grownup. (Nino Rota being one of my top two or three film composers)!” Shayne Hood-Animator and Filmmaker
