From a young age, Zach was interested in the relationship between film and music. He began studying film composition and exploring the immense influence it could have. In college, he collaborated with directors at Florida State University’s esteemed College of Motion Picture Arts to create scores which were recognized in film festivals across the country. Zach takes an impassioned approach to finding the heart and soul of a film and expressing it through music.

While producing a single in Tallahassee, Zach hit it off with Mason Palanti, one of the recording studio’s engineers. They immediately bonded over a shared appreciation for experimental film music, and Zach invited him to help on his next score. Since then, the two have not looked back. They have continued as co-writers, crafting scores that give each project a unique voice and musical identity.

He is an active participant in Atlanta’s live music space, playing with multiple groups as a keyboardist. He brings his eclectic, cinematic approach to bands such as Mallbangs and bandanna, and has frequently lent his talents to bands who have come through the renowned Maze studios.  In his production efforts, he finds himself providing musical direction and guidance for other artists and bands during all aspects of the creative timeline.

As a composer, Mason brings a classically trained perspective to the duo, along with experience in string arrangement and orchestration. Together, Zach and Mason work toward becoming the musical extension of the filmmaker, and establishing a strong and meaningful creative bond with their collaborators.
