Rose at the Edinburgh Fringe

Posted on June 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

I’ve just started rehearsals for Rose written by Hywel John and staring Keira and Art Malik, opening at the Pleasance Courtyard this August as part of the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Directed by Abbey Wright (who I previously worked with on the NT’s Frankenstein) I’ll be composer and sound designer for the project. This is the second production I’ll be taking up to Edinburgh this year, the first being 2Faced Dance’s In The Dust.

In The Dust – 2Faced Dance

Posted on June 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

I’ve been commissioned to score a twenty minute music piece as part of 2Faced Dance’s In The Dust showing at the Edinburgh fringe Zoo venue this summer and going on a subsequent European tour. The piece is called Seven Point Zero – listen to and purchase the album from the music player below.

“Tamsin Fitzgerald finishes the piece based on her visit to Haiti one year after the earthquake… visually and aurally arresting and filled with bruised emotions that are passionately and tenderly performed. Added to the mix is Alex Baranowski’s sensational soundtrack – it is hard not to be deeply moved.” www.thepublicreviews.com

Merchant of Venice and Hobson’s Choice

Posted on June 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

After a rather busy May, two projects I’ve been working on have recently opened to great critical success. The first being Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice directed by Rupert Goold at the RSC who turned a few heads setting the play in modern day Las Vegas (complete with 8-piece big band and numerous Elvis songs given a modern twist by myself and Adam Cork).

Read the Guardian review for Merchant here.

The second was a new production of Harold Brighouse’s Hobson’s Choice at the Sheffield Crucible directed by Christopher Luscombe.. here’s a little snippet of my score from the production…
