composer and producer of all kinds of music for film / tv and many other media including video games, website media, theatre etc.

i am based in St Albans just north of London UK but happy to work remotely on projects from anywhere in the world

i work within a wide range of styles, comprising orchestral, choral and electronic elements - all the demos listed here were written specifically for projects which i've been involved with

composition is my main interest however i can also produce professional, broadcast-standard audio recordings, entirely using my own studio equipment and software. when mimicking an orchestral performance i ensure the music sounds 'real' and sounds great in a variety of environments e.g. radio, tv, computer, phone and theatre

FEB 07 i've just finished setting up my new studio conveniently located for transport links around London and elsewhere (underground, national rail or M25 / M1) MARCH 07 recently finished a solo layered, experimental piece with an electronic feel APRIL 07 awaiting the rough cuts for one or more films i'm about to score for ALRA. in the meantime, I've been improving my conducting skills JUNE 07 just finished two short films for "The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts" - both directed by Peter Cregeen. one was a horror-comedy set within a late-night cinema, the other a sitcom-style piece about escapades at an airport. both will be shown at clapham picture house on 29th June SEPT 07 been upgrading much of my studio gear - including software to create choral music (including words) NOV 07 after discussions with the director, i'll be starting work soon on the music for a documentary about crime / anti-social behaviour on a Kent housing estate. i'm also working on the score for another short film APRIL 08 using some sophisticated audio techniques i've improved some old band recordings for a rock cd JUNE 08 i've been doing a lot of work on the audio/production side, perfecting my mixing techniques etc. - i've also been developing a news theme JULY 08 the documentary mentioned earlier was shown July 4th at a local screening in Tunbridge Wells - a number of people mentioned how effective they felt the music was, and overall the film seemed to "hit the spot" AUGUST 08 just finished putting together a new portfolio cd. it's a better reflection of my work so far than the one from 2006, so if you'd like a copy, get in touch. it's free!! NOVEMBER 08 my electric guitar has been brought out of temporary retirement... i'm playing in an indie/rock concert early next year (details to follow) MARCH 09 i am working on a solo project of my own (details to follow, i hope) as well as co-producing and mixing/mastering a rock CD for a new london-based band SEPT 09 development has begun on a web-accessible range of downloadable tracks, either to be situated here on this website or via existing production libraries FEB 10 finished two weeks' work on a DVD documentary to be distributed to schools concerning kids being left at home alone by their parents - the music is with the production studio now and i'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes out APR 10 apologies for the lack of recent news - i have been working on a couple of major projects, and one of these is now very close to completion. i can't say too much now but i'll post the details here as soon as things are finalised JAN 18 it's been several years since i last posted an update... aside from a few new projects, most of my work has been on the new MUSICWAY website, which handles publishing, licensing and distribution of my non-exclusive catalogue; check it out - you might find something you like! i'm still available for bespoke composer and soundtrack commissions
