Through space and time...
Emmett Kane is a digital music producer and composer (Who apparently speaks in the third person now) with a focus on combining electronic and orchestral sounds to create a bed of sonic warmth and complex, auditory flavors fit to suit any mood.Inspired by a ruthless desire to not-die-of-exposure-while-also-evading the-creative-minefield-known-as-modern-employment (Okay, now breath), Emmett pursues new and interesting soundscapes meant to inspire and entrap potential artistic partners. (And yes, that is a threat)I'm interested in working on soundtracks for video games, animation, and shortfilms. If you like what I've got and are interested in working together, contact me using the information below. Email preferred.
