‘I have been writing music since very young, exploring a large range of genres, tonalities and styles. The music links below represent a cross section of my work to date.  Some of the tracks have been recorded with live musicians (my favored working method) and others have been created using samples and digital orchestra. I have included some short descriptions in case you are a film maker looking for something in particular, but a bespoke commission is the only way to get music to really tell your story.’
