The Great Escape.....and Phillip Glass



Hi folks - quick update just to let you know I'm down at  The Great Escape in Brighton, UK for Friday & Saturday. Check my schedule here and we'll hook up!
Had a fantastic first day....followed by a truly great night with Mr Phillip Glass!
The man himself, leading his live ensemble playing to Koyaanisqatsi on the big screen - more prescient today even, than when it first was made...?

More news soon...! C

News Update - Ads, shorts & LA Library

Hey folks - been really busy with cues etc. -  so apologies, thanks for hanging in there!

First off, I've been upgrading the studio with some fantastic new libraries - among which are the EastWest Complete Composers Collection and some more VSL instruments. Also been playing with the Moog CP-251.

Also just finished a round of invite pitches, this time for HSBC, Google and BP and the current series of "24" amongst others. These things obviously can take their own sweet time, so watch this space for progress reports...

On the film side, I've just completed scoring a new dark short - 'Fox' - for Jonathan Honnor. Post & Final all done, first screenings very positive!
Will post up a bunch of clips when I have my own copy of the final.
It was great to be working such a cool project and  I wish him the best success with it - I've worked with Jonny before on his previous films and it's great to see some cool funding coming in from Northern Film + Media.

Most recently I've finished another crop of cues for an LA-based library - more placement details when I have them...

Finally I've just uploaded some brand new cues at my Reverb Nation page here.  These are also accessible from the music player on the right - please feel free to grab and share the player and spread far and wide :)

That's it for now- Composition Theory Part 2 on its way and lots more news to come....
