About

Reformed guitarist turned composer and producer, Brian spent his earlier years working at his father’s small music shop in the mountains of central California. Between stringing guitars and repairing dented band instruments, he developed a passion for computers and recording, sparking a lifelong obsession with music technology.

After graduating from UCSC with a degree in business management and economics, Brian somehow managed to avoid any kind of “real job” and spent the next decade producing records and composing music. In 2012, Brian formed Finishing Move with longtime friend and collaborator Brian Trifon, where the duo began lending their unique sound and talents to games and interactive music.

Finishing Move is the creative force behind some of the most iconic scores in modern gaming, with music featured in DOOM, Halo, Borderlands, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. The composer collective is known for crafting immersive soundtracks that blend electronic grit with cinematic scope, driving gameplay and deepening narrative worlds. Fusing experimental sound design, live instrumentation, and genre-bending production, Finishing Move delivers music that’s as emotionally resonant as it is sonically bold. Whether scoring apocalyptic sci-fi or surreal backyard adventures, their work brings a signature intensity and atmosphere that resonates with both fans and critics across the industry.

When he’s not herding cats around the studio with Finishing Move, Brian occasionally makes outsider synth-pop under the alias Gasmilk.
