After months of work, Frankenstein has just opened to great reviews at the National Theatre. I’ve been working with amazing electro duo Underworld (Rick Smith and Karl Hyde) as well as grammy award winning mix engineer Simon Gogerly on the music and sound to the show directed by Danny Boyle. Watch out for the live cinema broadcasts on 17th and 24th March.
I’ve written the music to the Channel 4 documentary Made in England produced by Century Films. A film about Cooper and Stollbrand, one of the last surviving clothes factories in Salford, director Satnam Authi followed the machinists and management in their busy run up to Christmas producing items for many well known British high street brands.
The whole programme is available to watch on 4oD here.
I’ve posted some music clips from the programme below;

Very pleased to be back working with Rupert Goold on his production of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice opening at the RSC’s brand new Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, where I’ll be collaborating with Tony Award winning composer/sound designer Adam Cork. Rehearsals are already underway in London, with the production opening in May 2011. It stars Patrick Stewart as Shylock.

I’ve been busy recently working with fellow LIPA graduate Michael Bruce for the score of Men Should Weep at the National’s Lyttelton Theatre. I’ve been producing and mixing Michael’s jazz score which was recorded at the NT’s studios this week. Previews begin next week…
I’ve also been in workshops at the Tristan Bates Theatre in Covent Garden with writer Ben Ockrent and director Gregory Thompson developing a new theatrical musical piece, Playsong, as part of the Ignition 2010 project. A naturalistic musical about music therapy, I’ve been really enthused by what we have managed to come up with in such a short space of time. The workshops will be shown to an audience at the Tristan Bates on 26th, 27th and 29th October at 7.30pm.
After last night’s press performance of Hamlet at the Royal National Theatre the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Very shortly I’ll be putting some of my score up on this site….
