This advert is designed to encourage customers to invest in an Omniplex Cinema gift card. The brief from production company Really Bold was to compose music which supported the meaning in the narration but did not detract from it, bringing with it optimism, opportunity and excitement. 

Stay the Same, directed by Sam Firth is a meditation on time, mortality and our desire to capture and record experience.

Funded with development funds from the UK Film Council/BFI and Creative Scotland with support from the Scottish Documentary Institute.

Game directed by Jonathan Hatton - 2015.

A surreal photography game about loss, what we leave behind and how we move on. It follows a woman who uses her ability to photograph people’s memories in an attempt to help the sick, dying and memory impaired. ‘Hindsight’ is an attempt to portray a narrative and evoke emotions through the interactions and mechanics themselves.

An experimental two-screen experience, split between a phone/tablet and main PC screen. Players interact with people and the real world via the touch device, before moving up to the memory world of the main screen, using their touch device to photograph and repair broken memories.

Game directed by Ana Ribeiro - 2013.

IOS game about a carnival in Brazil. A puppet catches on fire and causes chaos! You can choose the carnival’s destiny. Save it or destroy it!

Directed by Aniko Kuikka - Art installation 20 mins long filmed in one shot! I was commissioned to compose music to be played by myself and a choir on set and on camera, as well as to compose some easy listening for a beauty salon scene and some dangerous disco music. It has to be seen to be believed!

Mist, Rain, Storm

Lewis Normand is a friend who goes back a very long way to the days when we both began composing and dancing, back in the 90s. Lewis invited me to compose the music for his first two week long residency at Dance Base in Edinburgh. Along with dancers Hannah Kidd, Ellie Bishop and Joel Wilson, we devised a three act piece inspired by mist, rain and storm. A fitting stimulus for a Scottish choreographer and composer team. We anticipate the piece will be performed live in Edinburgh and Glasgow in the summer of 2016. The score was created on my computer with many interesting audio manipulation techniques as well as harp, piano, cello and more, so the music will not be a live element on this occasion.
