Testimonials

"I had contracted Daniel back in 2021 to compose a large portion of the soundtrack for my feature length documentary "Gothix"; working with Daniel ended up being one of the best decisions I made for the film. At the beginning of the process I had discussed the events of the documentary with Daniel and discussed a general outline of the film before any significant cut had been put together and he began writing a few ideas that could potentially fit. During that early phase of editing and composing, Daniel ended up writing a piece of music that was so good that when I had heard it I thought of an entirely new section for the film that I was not at all planning, but it was that inspiring. It was very exciting right off the bat and that unexpected piece he composed ended up adding a very critical part to the film.

Daniel also understood nuanced shifts in the subtext of a scene and was able to have the dynamics of the score move to amplify that subtext, resulting in pulling the audience in more. That kind of awareness is hard to find anywhere and it added so much more depth that we knew this story deserved. He was also very willing to go back and forth on ideas until we had something that we both felt was working. Overall, it was such a pleasure to work with Daniel and he's going to continue to be my first call anytime I have a soundtrack need for one of my films."

“Importance, depth, and cinematic quality are elements of original music that can be difficult for filmmakers to find in a composer, but Daniel Joseph White has proven himself to be more than proficient. For many of our films, we can truly say that his music has been one of the best parts of them and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Daniel's contribution to my documentary was definitely needed. He was able to capture the beauty of connection, kindness, and life; the themes that were present throughout the documentary. Not only that, the music helped display the emotions I had throughout my journey with the podcast. I'm 100% certain that, if the documentary was silent, people would still be able to understand everything they were seeing with the music. It was rich, eloquent, moving. Without his contribution, the documentary wouldn't have been as amazing as it was. He's a kind-hearted, diligent, hardworking, caring composer that strives to ensure the client is satisfied. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

“Daniel was a pleasure to work with on multiple projects for our production company over the years. He produced custom soundtracks which required several versions of specific lengths for disc menus and trailers. He was able to capture the mood and timbre of sound we were looking for each time. We look forward to working with him again, and would highly recommend his work to anyone who needs a composer to turn their ideas into music.”

—Daniel Foucachon, CEO Roman Roads Media and Kepler Education.

“Daniel worked on my documentary The Life of David Brainerd. His music added so much emotion and intrigue to every scene. Not only did it elevate the documentary, you were able to binge the songs to have a pleasant listening experience just listening to the music alone, that is always a great sign that the music will live on for many decades to come. Being at the beginning of his professional career, I'm looking forward to having many years of collaboration with him. His passion, desire for excellence, and ability to execute composing emotion transforming music will surely elevate your film.”
