I recently created a full album worth of film/tv drama music for Shutterstock Music. The client wanted dramatic production music film scores, dramatic underscores and action/suspense music. It was a great project to be involved with and it allowed for a lot of live musicianship on the tracks. In particular live strings (played by Joy Becker…… Continue reading Film TV Drama Music

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
Suzuki Q-Chord = Hours of Fun
I recently borrowed a Suzuki Q-Chord. Never heard of it before but I was a assured it was instant Children’s TV and being a Children’s TV Composer it made sense to try it out! I spent the next couple of hours in my own little autoharp world. It pretty easy to use, although you have… Continue reading Suzuki Q-Chord = Hours of Fun
Corpse Bride Opening Credits Music
I’m a massive fan of Danny Elfman. In my humble opinion, the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever! I really enjoyed Corpse Bride and I felt the urge to do a reworking of the opening credits sequence. In the original, Danny Elfman makes a strong musical reference to… Continue reading Corpse Bride Opening Credits Music

Thank you for all your kind words!! (by the way you can click on the production company logo to go through to… Continue reading Some Kind Words…
Will Power – Premiere and Score Excerpts
I’ve just added a few music excerpts from ‘Will Power’, the drama/comedy film I composed the film score for. Please feel free to have a listen and comment! I went to the long awaited film premiere a couple of weeks ago at the Trafford Centre Odeon in Manchester. It was a real buzz to see and… Continue reading Will Power – Premiere and Score Excerpts
