An occasional blog by a jobbing composer, reflecting on both completed and ongoing projects.
I’m pleased to announce that AUK has released my soundtrack for Agaton Sax the Movie!
Available now from Amazon.
This project was a pleasure and an honour. After all, how many composers get to realise a brand new score for a 50 year old animation that was also Sweden’s first feature-length animation!
The film is available here.
The music relishes the best mickey-mousing style of classic cartoons, with a big heart and lots of action.
After several months of working on projects for other people, it has been a lovely change to write some original music of my own.
My brother’s film company were hired to make a trailer for the local am-dram production of The Importance of Being Earnest. Due to its amateur status, a temp track could be used for their short-term promotion. But the performances, locations, costumes and filming were so good that a responsive score was desirable. Earlier this month I submitted my entry to the Zurich Film Festival Scoring Competition. I am still in the habit of writing for symphony orchestra and so I have written a lavish and racing soundtrack for the trailer. Film to follow!
Now available to download, the full soundtrack to the Lost in Castles feature-documentary Middleham: A Castle Made for Kings. Includes the bonus track "The Last Plantagenet".
