Profile Summary

I'm an Prix-Italia-nominated composer, sound designer and multi-instrumentalist, creating music and sound scores for theatre, television, interactive media & audio drama

Drawing on a huge range of eclectic influences, my work ranges from sweeping orchestral music to abstract electronics, choral writing and quirkily innovative sound design.

My music's been heard on BBC TV, BBC Radio 3 & 4, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, and my music / sound scores are regularly heard in major theatres around the UK including the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre and in the West End. I also have an extensive network of outstanding live instrumentalists with whom I regularly work.

In my theatre work, I  create fully-realised music and sound-worlds, and am equally happy working with actors, singers and live instrumentalists in the rehearsal room or running full-band recording sessions as I am designing complex sound systems or putting QLab through its paces.

I'm represented by Amanda Evans at Scott Marshall Partners (0207 637 4623 / amanda@scottmarshall.co.uk)
