GMA 7's "True Stories" Theme Song

Commissioned by GMA-7 TV Networks, this is composed, arranged, and produced for a cable TV series run in The Filipino Channel. This four minute themesong comes complete with thematic scores and stingers (not included here for corporate reasons). The challenge was to weave five themes in one musical piece at exactly four minutes -- suspense, romance, thriller, action, and fun.

"Alin ang Naiba" Short Film

This is an excerpt of Anne Nicomedes' then short fim in UP Film Institute. This commissioned original scoring phase had been the end of a beginning. And the beginning of an end. Sure. Right. It bagged the Best Narrative, People's Choice and Best Original Music Score awards at the Inyorai Video Festival 2003. This garnered the Best Thesis award in her batch, too.
