He balances modern production with classic construction, creating fresh and contemporary soundscapes as well as nuanced orchestrations.
Roget studied music at Yale University, is originally from Philadelphia, PA and currently resides in Seattle, WA. He is an avid multi-instrumentalist, performing solo flute, keyboards, world instruments and guitar on many of his scores.
