TOBY BOSTON

Freelance COMPOSER and SOUND DESIGNER

SELECTED PORTFOLIO for ABERRATION SHORT FILM

 
 

SONICTRACS — ETERNAL DARKNESS

Production Music Library (2024)

Dark and sinister tones inspired by folk horror films, inspired by the likes of The Witch, The Northman and The Green Knight, as well as films like The Lighthouse and Hereditary. Very similar in tone and influence to the Aberration short, and as a result a very close reference for this project.

FEATURED COMPOSITIONS

March

Reckoning

A SUGGESTIVE WAX SUGGESTS A WANE

Film Commission (2023)

Original Music Composition & Sound Design

The best showcase of my sound design work in conjunction with my composition. All sounds crafted by me, from a combination of found sound and digital sound. Also demonstrates tones similar to the Aberration references in its sound, a project with a background in the folklore surrounding trees and a showcase of a similar musical style channeling atmospheric vocals and textures.

 
 
 

SATV PUBLISHING — WALL OF NOISE 45: PRIMAL

Production Music: Trailer Library (2023) with multiple placements across SKY TV channels

Visceral thriller tones heavily focused on primal female vocals and intense climaxes. An example of the more intense and suspenseful side of my work and a good companion to the Eternal Darkness album.

SKY FATHER, EARTH MOTHER

Audiovisual Installation (2022)

Original Music Composition & Sound Design

Another example of my sound design work in conjunction with my composition. All sounds crafted by me, from a combination of found sound and digital sound. A project deeply rooted in celestial mythologies so channeling influences similar to the folklore ones of Aberration and a showcase of a similar musical style.

 

SHORT FILMS

Not the closest references stylistically and tonally, but the best examples of my composition for longer form narrative.
