Soundtracks built by the road,
not the classroom.
A decade of performing in live bands spanning rock, country, synth,
folk, and orchestral audiences translates to raw,
story-driven composition for film.
After a decade on the road…
As a musician, songwriter, producer, and performer I know what it means to live inside music—a different city every night, across genres, in front of real audiences. That experience shapes how I approach every score.
Now, it’s about bringing that same level of detail and intention to your film to craft something that tells your story.

Comments from filmmakers
“When making my first film I wanted a killer score. Something that would tell a story and highlight mine at the same time. Just like the film, I wanted it to be multi faceted — and it was clear to me from the start there’s no one who’s more capable of being this creative and playful than Neuman. I got so lucky when he said yes. Renaissance would not be the film it is without his impeccable talent and mind blowing musical genius. It was so easy working with him. It wasn’t work. It was play.”
-Nathalie Cerny (director of Renaissance)
“My favorite thing about Neuman is his ability to think and play outside the box. He’s wildly talented in a traditional sense on guitar, bass, keys, percussion, etc. - but what sets him apart is his creativity and intuition – anything in the room is now an instrument! The way he records is a character in and of itself and has as much to do with the emotional life of his scoring as the instrumentation does. I highly recommend working with him because he cares so much, he loves his work, and he always finds his way to the most interesting version of the musical storytelling you need.”
-Lauren Noll (Director Same Same But Different, Clean Slate, Gen V)
“Neu is a musical genius and a true one-man-band. I’ve seen him compose epically grand film scores as well as shred a killer guitar solo for my movie’s intro credits. Then he’ll just casually drum a perfect action beat. There’s nothing he doesn’t do. And whatever he does, he does it BIG.”
-Heston Horwin (Writer/Star of The Misadventures of Vince & Hick)
“Working with Neuman is always an absolute joy. He brings such a thoughtful mix of creativity, patience, and genuine collaboration to every project. I have worked with him on both feature films and short projects, and he consistently elevates the work in a way that feels meaningful and inspired. Even when creating soundscapes for cultures outside his own personal experience, he approaches it with such care and specificity that the world of the story truly comes to life. He is incredibly easy to work with, always open, communicative, and deeply invested in finding what serves the story best. More than anything, Neuman becomes a real part of the team. He cares about the process and the people, and that shows in everything he does. He is a true gem, and any production would be lucky to have him!”
-Dalia Rooni (Writer/Star of Same Same But Different, Director/Writer/Star of Clean Slate, Writer/Star of Gen V
“Neuman is a cool indie rocker, and definitely not an industry plant.”
- Lloyd Norman (EVP / GM of Big Loud Rock)
