Aaron has composed original music for films and theatrical productions including Where Hope Grows; Permission; Alex & Jaime; Cedar Cove; Dan is Dead; All the Lovely Wayside Things; Tall, Dark, and Handsome; Heart; Until We Have Faces; Shrew; The Fire Room; the Breakfast Show with Adam O; Companion; and Beyond Imagination, winning best score and sound design at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for his work on Fugitive Kind's production of The Fire Room by Ovation Award-winning playwright Meghan Brown. Aaron served as Artist in Residence for the Spark & Echo Arts project (2017), also serving as a curator (2017), and completing additional Spark & Echo commissions (2016, 2018). Aaron works as in-house composer and producer for the Gregory Brothers / Schmoyoho, whose original music has earned them a gold and platinum record and nearly one billion views on YouTube. He co-founded the SongLab workshop and serves as co-chair of the Carnegie Hill concert series in New York, featuring leading interpreters of classical and New Music from around the globe.
