McCullin Soundtrack Sampler

Posted on June 27, 2012 | Leave a comment

Earlier this year I scored the music to a documentary about iconic photographer Don McCullin directed by Don’s one time assistant Jacqui Morris. Beautifully shot on 16mm film, McCullin is being produced by Steve Milne of the British Film Company (Senna, The King’s Speech, Moon) and Rankin Film Productions. Thought it would be a good opportunity to put some snippets of my score onto this site… I’m hoping to release the entire 22 track album on iTunes sometime in the coming weeks / months. To be notified when it will be available, sign up to my info list here.

A mini site for the soundtrack can be found at mccullinsoundtrack.com

News March 2012

Posted on March 14, 2012 | Leave a comment

It’s been a busy start to the year. And helpfully due to a raft of non-disclosure agreements I haven’t been able to tell you too much about it..

I’m presently working on a pilot for the BBC, heavily based around music. I’ve also recently recorded a number of my orchestral pieces with an orchestra at London’s Air Edel recording studios, as well as working on some interesting projects with The Times and some exciting fashion brands.. Hopefully I’ll be able to divulge more in the coming months.

One project I can talk about is feature documentary McCullin, a wonderfully moving film about acclaimed war photographer Don McCullin which I started composing for late last year. Directed by Don’s one time photography assistant Jacqui Morris and produced by the British Film Company and Rankin Film Productions, the music and edit should be finished later this month. All being well the soundtrack will be on iTunes on the film’s release..

Posted on January 3, 2012 | Leave a comment

I’m presently composing for 90min feature doc McCullin, directed by Jacqui Morris. Beautifully shot on 16mm film, it is about war photographer Don McCullin – whose images from the wars in Vietnam, Congo, Beirut and Biafra for the Sunday Times were amongst some of the most iconic photographs from the 20th Century. A cinema release for the film is scheduled for 2012.

I’ve just composed the music for a series of 5 TV ads for Blue Dragon, which are on air in the UK currently. Here is one of the five;

Posted on February 15, 2010 | Comments Off

This week I’m starting work on composing for a new three-part broadcast documentary entitled Schools of Thought. The pilot can be seen on my audio/video page.

I’ve also been writing music and songs for a production at the Guild Hall Charter Theatre in Lancashire, which will be opening around mid March. I’ll be MD’ing the show – again, more details to follow soon…

Last but not least I’ve just delivered 53 episodes of the online drama Casino52 on which I was composer and sound designer. The first episodes will be released next month.
