My Approach
Your creative vision is the most important part of any project. Understanding this happens before a composer writes a single note and if you’re not sure what you’re looking for we work together to define it. To exceed your expectations (which I always want to do) understanding your ideas is essential.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”reveal-from-right” column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#d5e5df” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
The Music
Music elicits emotion and when people experience emotion, they are engaged. It’s a powerful way to connect and is the difference between ‘average’ and ‘amazing’. Your creative project deserves to be amazing. Working with me, you’ll discover a composer who can write across multiple genres and wherever possible uses real instruments and musicians.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”30″ bottom_padding=”60″ enable_gradient=”true” color_overlay=”d5e5df” color_overlay_2=”#72af87″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h4″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”Lucky Chicken Filmscore”][vc_column_text]

It’s a silent film so really allowed me to flex my musical muscle.If you would like to watch the whole film you can here: Lucky Chicken Film
I loved the script (if you can call it that given that it’s a silent film) so I set about creating musical ideas to bring the world and the characters to life. Lucky Chicken is a light-hearted comedy set in a non-specific time period in England. As such we wanted the score to have a timeless, quirky and fun feel to it.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”6475,6477,6476,6462,6441″ onclick=”link_no”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_image=”7152″ bg_position=”left bottom” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” top_padding=”30″ bottom_padding=”60″ color_overlay=”#242135″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h4″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”The Week The Landlords Moved In | Recording the Music for the BBC1 Series”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The Week The Landlords Moved In is a “life swap” format show on BBC 1 whereby landlords get to live in their own properties for a week.

I was approached by BOSCH to write, produce and record a piece of music for their summer ad campaign. They wanted 70s funk music similar to Chuck Brown and James Brown to which someone could dance around their garden with their powerhose. “Pull the Trigger” was born.
So we booked in to “The Square” recording studio to record the bass, drums and brass. There is no greater pleasure than recording fantastic musicians in a beautiful studio.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_image=”6323″ bg_position=”left top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” parallax_bg=”true” parallax_bg_speed=”slow” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”20″ bottom_padding=”60″ enable_gradient=”true” color_overlay=”d5e5df” color_overlay_2=”#72af87″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
Universal Music Publishing – Filmic Folk
Having pitched some ideas to Universal I was comissioned to write a seven track album.
