Reimagining the Sound and Music for ‘Arrival’

This creative blend of original music and sound design captures the tension and unique atmosphere that made the movie so memorable.

About

For over two decades,

I've explored the electronic music landscape, evolving through various creative phases. Today, my work focuses on rich sound design that bridges electronic music with cinematic composition.

In my earlier career as Jason Grey, I developed a distinctive hybrid style blending techno, progressive house, and trance. This became the foundation for my independent label, Crossing Over Records, which has championed both established artists and emerging talent alongside my own releases.

Now I'm pursuing my passion for film, TV, and media scoring, applying my electronic background to create immersive soundscapes that enhance visual storytelling. By combining electronic elements with traditional instrumentation, I craft unique sonic experiences that captivate audiences. I'm constantly refining my approach, aiming to make a meaningful contribution to film and media music.
