Film and TV Composer, Berklee College of Music, Spitfire Audio, Passionate about Teaching and Music Education, Film and Electronic Music Production Tutor at the University of St Andrews
As a film composer, I've always been fascinated by how music can transform a story, adding depth and emotion that words alone can't convey. Whether it's the suspenseful strings in a thriller, the uplifting melodies in a romance, or the haunting textures and harmonies in a drama, music is the invisible thread that ties a film's narrative together "and the emotional undercurrent of the film" (Simon Franglen, composer of Avatar 2: The Way of Water, Cannes Film Festival, May 2024) Below I have attached my showreel of all the incredible collaborations that I have had, including collaborations with Spitfire Audio, Abbey Road Studios, Blender, Matthew Todd, Karolina Smolova, Javan Ng, Sandy Gemmill and many more. I have also highlighted a few pointers that I have learned along the way. 🎥 Collaboration is Key: Every note is a dialogue between the composer and the story. This is where the synergy and magic happens! 🎻 Emotion Over Technique: The best scores evoke feelings, creating an unforgettable experience. Follow the storyline and narrative! 🎹 Innovation and Tradition: Blending classical techniques with modern sounds can create unique, powerful music. Creating hybrid scores can create a nice blend of virtual and live instruments. I'd love to hear from fellow musicians, filmmakers, creatives in the industry and music enthusiasts.
