Film & TV 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.”

Call me now to add richness, originality and heart to your next project
