Help your story find its sound
I work closely with directors and creative teams to make custom music that elevates every project. My process is rooted in collaboration and clear communication, blending musical fluency and structure in service to both the story and the people telling it.
" ... [Luca gave] us something better than we knew how to ask for—a beautiful, surprising, sophisticated track that immediately improved every piece of film we put it to."
