Velveteen Rabbit gave me the opportunity to compose original music for the show, while also performing the title role at the same time. The director needed several pieces of music that were tailor-made for specific moments, and I wrote, recorded, mixed, and mastered each track before handing them off to the production's sound designer. The show sold so well, the theatre decided to make it their annual Christmas show, and asked me to compose more pieces the following year. I am currently in discussion with the theatre to continue adding pieces to the show every year until it contains solely original work. Below is a small selection from the 10 pieces I have written for the show so far.
