A little short film I jumped on over the weekend! Legacy 2.0 by Oliver Ma starring brilliant actress Hannah Goodwin.

It's a good feeling when there's people out there who trust you even in little time restraints :)

This was for a short film which is a whimsical glimpse into the future of digital legacy and cybercrimes, through the eyes of a broken-hearted girl and her overbearing artificial intelligence. The fi

Happy to share the fruits of my first collaboration with violinist/artist Fransoafran. Take from it what you will, it's a piece that could have many possible narratives. For instance, I was playing it to a friend and they were getting pictures in their head of a cinematic scene Matt Thomas Green.

Here's an experimental work in collaboration with violinist/artist Fransoafran. We decided to team up and create some tunes(potentially become a duo). We have started with this and it's still in essen

Hello World. I thought I'd break the silence here! Well, I've had a rather productive weekend. I now have some clarity with my musical direction, and thought to let you all in on the latest.

Two current collaborations happening: One is a VR (Virtual Reality) experience. If you don't know much about VR, it basically is the future, so have a look into it.

The other, which is unfolding quite swimmingly, is an original piece with violin/artist, Fransoafran. It's turning out to be a very flexible piece - in that it could fit well with cinema, art or both.

I can't wait to share these with you once released!

My first contract feedback has been received! I'm so ecstatic that I have to share it. :) I obtained this job through the freelancing site 'Upwork'. My role - creating a soundtrack for promotional purposes for a book.

"Joshua is a phenomenal composer - it has been an utter pleasure working with him. He keeps in constant contact during the process of the job, and listens to your ideas and tries to incorporate them into the music. What i found most endearing about him was his passion for the job - it felt like he was just as enthusiastic as I was. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. I would hire Joshua for any compositions in the future. "

FRIENDS! I have even better news this week. My post-uni hustle has not been in vain!

A New York based music company called 'CBE Music' want me as an intern! http://www.cbemusic.com/
I thought at first that I would be moving, but I don't need to. Apparently the tasks required I can do remotely here in Sydney! This is literally my foot in the door of the big US of A!
Exciting, exciting times!
Thank you all who have helped me, given me advice, believing in me and putting up with all the questions. The snowball is rolling now, and will build up all because of your push from the start!

Welcome to CBE Music, a music and branding company scores, songs, sonic solutions for films, videos and ads.

After a few months of being in the void, with no trace of work, my persistence has paid off today.
I landed not one, but two composing gigs!
It turns out I will be doing a soundtrack for the promotion of a book.
And then a larger more intense project, being a webseries!
