Dexter: Original Sin

Assistant composer

The prequel of the megahit Showtime series Dexter: Original Sin arrives in December 2024. I worked with Pat Irwin (Dexter: New Blood, Rocko’s Modern Life, SUSS, Spongebob) as assistant composer for this series, and had the most incredible journey, working long hours writing music, editing, mixing, prepping music and crafting this suspenseful and vibrant score. It has been totally surreal to score scenes featuring TV royalty like Sarah Michelle Geller, Patrick Dempsey, and Christian Slater.

Being a part of a super talented and kind music team was my favorite aspect of this job. I had the opportunity to grow because of the feedback and support of the other members of the team, Sam Bishoff (assistant composer), Jahn Sood (music editor), and Patrick Derivaz (mix engineer).

So far, I’ve written a few dozen cues for the series, and I’ve created one (very spoiler-y) theme, which I’m enjoying creating variations on. I hope the show reaches a broad audience and that longtime fans will appreciate all the great music being written for this prequel!
