In 2017, he graduated from New York University with a Master's Degree in Scoring For Film & Multimedia, and that same year, Noah was part of the ASCAP/Columbia Film Scoring Workshop, where he worked with director Federico Spiazzi and composed the music for the Columbia University Film Festival trailer. He went on to receive the 2017 ASCAP Henry Mancini Music Fellowship after recording a 12-piece big band for the score.
Noah has worked on various films and innovative multimedia projects, including To Be With Hamlet, a live, Shakespeare performance that takes place in virtual reality; Where Shadows Slumber, a mobile video game that uses an interactive shadow to reveal hidden objects; and Plague the Peasants, a 2.5D Real-Time Strategy game in which the player plays as a plague infecting a village. Noah also worked alongside composer Grace Kelly as Music Producer for Raphael Sbarge's 2017 film The Bird Who Could Fly, which won an array of awards at the Asians On Film Festival, as well as the Audience Choice Best Short Film award at the First Glance Film Festival. In 2017, Noah composed the score to Beneath the Surface, a heart-wrenching documentary about head and neck cancer patients and their battles with the disease.
A lover of all narrative music, Noah continues to create cinematic soundscapes that intersect the acoustic and electronic worlds. In the songwriting world, Noah has arranged and orchestrated for songwriter/producer Elliot Moss. He has also garnered attention across numerous media, including a feature on Indie Shuffle upon releasing his song "Just Let It Go" under his stage name, "Nozart."
