Welcome to my Website.

For whatever reason you find yourself here, I hope you introduce yourself and pen me a few lines below.

Listen to my music

… or not. Who has time to listen to recorded music you don’t know?

I started this website way back in 2006 (pre-Facebook) as a marketing platform for my services as an orchestral music composer with training and experience in scoring to picture. Since then, it has become increasingly less relevant for such things, and more a place to explore and express my ideas about life, music, and political economy.

Notwithstanding, I do still present some evidence of the work I previously created for various professional projects, whether for TV, film, live concert performance, theater, immersive and interactive media.

“Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.“

Dylan Thomas (1914 – 1953)

Nota Bene: I haven’t made much of a regular habit posting here or interacting with social media. I’ve boasted and then wisely deleted much over the years because of shame or vanity. However, you will still find a lot of rubbish on this site. I’m slowly weeding it out, revising or deleting my earlier, younger voice – for this is what digital media allows – but never forgetting where I was. The “tomorrow” me is something I have yet to discover. I wish you well in your own journey of discovery.

About Me: A Professional Composer

I work as a creator in film and media production and as a teacher, engineer and project manager. In my career, I’ve collaborated with renowned artists and business leaders, including the prestigious London Symphony Orchestra, the 500-year-old choir of Christ Church Cathedral Oxford, Simon Preston, Francis Grier, Christopher Hogwood, David Arnold, Edgar Sandoval, David Norland, Robin Sip, Kris Koenig, Andrew Dudman, Gerry O’Riordan, Dave Rosen, Norm Howe, and I’ve even been on the road with Stevie Wonder. I studied Engineering Acoustics and Vibration at Southampton University, Law and Music at Thames Valley University, and provided support to adults with complex needs in supported housing, managing multiple services and residential HMOs. I have lived and worked in the UK, Europe, USA, and Japan, and was in some of the world’s poorest communities providing critical support time and resources to orphans in Malawi, Africa

My involvement in film and animation as a professional composer started in 1998. Much of my work has been for documentary, giant screen, and themed entertainment projects that have reached audiences around the globe. I have also provided soundtracks for several art cinema and award-winning festival films.
