New Showreel for 2016

I’ve finally got round to creating a new showreel for myself! It’s been quite difficult to find the time to do this and as the way with these things there’s always a project on the horizon that you feel you’d want to include before uploading. There’s one or two other projects that I’m currently involved… Continue reading New Showreel for 2016

Brass Hip Hop Library Music – Making of…

I recently completed a full library music album comprising of 15 tracks of Brass Hip Hop music. The markets for these tracks were promos, adverts, sports montages and action sequences so the music had to be energetic, loud and lively so that it jumps out of the speakers.   We were very keen to feature a large amount of live musicians on this album… Continue reading Brass Hip Hop Library Music – Making of…

Social Networking

Admittedly it’s only the 14th December, but I’m going to put into place one of my new years resolutions early… And that is to be a bit more active on social media especially Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Feel free to follow me on the following channels Facebook, Twitter and Instagram [instagram-feed]

On “Panorama” Documentary

Once again it’s great see some of my music being used on prime time television. This time it has been on the BBC Panorama documentary. You can find the link for the show here http://bbc.in/1GsMGXP (it occurs around 3:50) or see the video below. You can hear the music in it’s entirety here

On the “Tonight” Show

I was pretty excited to find out some of my music was used on prime time tv recently on the Tonight Show on ITV. The music was taken from the Indie/Folk production music album. It’s really nice to see it being well received and used. You can see the show here (up until the end of… Continue reading On the “Tonight” Show

Composing Ambient Soundscapes

I’ve recently been commissioned to create an album of relaxing ambient soundscapes. As you would expect it’s been one of the most relaxing jobs I’ve ever done (I was thinking of investing in a reclining chair but thought I might be going too far). Throughout the process I’ve been keen to shy away from the… Continue reading Composing Ambient Soundscapes

New Bespoke Online Commissions

I’ve been very busy over the past few months working of a variety of bespoke music composer commissions for online videos. Most recently I’ve worked for the English Cricket Board and the fashion brand Woodhouse.     Get the Game On – English Cricket Board Woodhouse – Dapper Stag Collection The client required music that fully represented… Continue reading New Bespoke Online Commissions

New Production Music Album

The brief for the album was to create 16 tracks of Indie/Folk music loosely influenced by the likes of Nick Mulvey, Ben Howard, Hozier and Ed Sherran. I’ve been composing production music for around 2 years now for various libraries, but this is the first instance where I’ve had an album all to myself. It’s been… Continue reading New Production Music Album

Christmas Songs

I thought I’d share two of my favourite Christmas songs (or at least ones that remind me of Christmas). The first one is from the children’s animation ‘The Snowman’ and a song called ‘Walking in the Air’. I froze my arse off sat in the garden to give you a classical guitar version of the… Continue reading Christmas Songs

Studio Pictures

I’ve just got my hands on a few pictures of the studio space I work from. As a composer I’m very keen to get as much soul and energy through live performance where possible. I believe that no matter how much money is spent on samples/virtual instruments (of which I have many incidentally if budgets are tight!) nothing… Continue reading Studio Pictures
