Film Credits

“I craft my music around your stories. 

I love telling stories with music so therefore, I love composing music to other people’s images and stories. There is something exciting about movies – they can be very large beasts, and when a film crew is working it is like the “circus has come to town”. And I love circuses.

 It is always fun watching a film getting made, and helping make it. Creating the score usually happens at the end of shooting, and that is another piece of the giant mosaic/tapestry a film or television programme is.”
