Writing Music for Film and Television

I have been writing music for programmes for around 15 years now and it is a side of my work that I particularly enjoy. I have been blessed with clients who have given me pretty much carte blanche to fully express what they are saying with their pictures with my music.

I very much prefer to work to picture, preferably the final cut (offline is okay) as I can then see my work in context at all times. Sometimes I quite literally write to picture, reacting note for note in the same way as a pianist in the days of the silent movie.

Because of the number of works that I have written over a long period of time I keep a separate site Music 4 Docs. Please visit it for full details of my work and many examples. However, I also include here some details with regard to commissioning and a few individual examples, as well as the show reel in the sidebar.
