Restless Bard is an insomniac composer who stays up all night writing music to entertain, elevate, and inspire fellow adventurers. It was the soaring themes of 1980's John Williams that persuaded him to write music and led to artistic influences like Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri, Joe Hisaishi, Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu, Jeremy Soule, and Austin Wintory. A trumpet player, pianist, and conductor, Restless Bard holds a Master of Music degree and enjoys writing in a Neo-Romantic orchestral style, with strong melodies and Jazz-tinged harmonies.
