Parts - Agent scene
Parts - Agent sceneUnderscore from a short film called 'Parts' (IMDB 2016), by director Naqqash Khalid. In this scene, an actor is interviewed for a role, but he finds he must sacrifice a little more than he had anticipated in order to get the part… Cliff Martinez's work on the Drive soundtrack was largely the influence for this piece.

The Prelude Tour
The Prelude TourI was asked to write some music for a promo video, for a new play by an up and coming theatre company. The temp track the director had been using was 'Isjaki' by Sigur Ros, thus I had a lot of fun producing this track with a dark and slightly Sigur Ros undertone (and a few others).

Epicentre
EpicentreThis was written purely as an exercise - just an interesting riff that popped into my head one morning. Interesting because it was in 11/8 time, and not many things in 11/8 tend to come to the surface! Although in writing, I ended up converting it to 5/8 as the 11/8 conflicted with the bass motif I wanted to employ. Anyway, it's a fairly typical, tense, filmic piece, just for fun.

Pedigree Poultry - Pub. Thermal Music
Pedigree Poultry - Pub. Thermal MusicI had the opportunity to write music for a documentary called Pedigree Poultry. This time it was for a documentary on chickens, and specifically people who rear them for competitions. I was given a temp track, which had a gypsy flavour to it, and so this piece was my response, which became the title theme.
-
Uptown Chick
Uptown ChickI wanted to write something tender but subtly oddball for this scene, where one of the competing chickens is being cleaned up and manicured in the kitchen - considering the scene is a little oddball in itself! By complete accident (honest!), I came up with a theme very reminiscent of Uptown Girl, which upon realisation of such I decided was actually quite a suitable parallel, considering not many chickens have the privilege of being washed by hand in the kitchen sink! I have also fallen in love with the Dulcimer!
