Upbringing

The North.

Via the excellent Rochdale Borough Youth brass band & piano lessons, later Liverpool University.

First real awareness of film/tv music and its power.

Horner & Goldsmith’s scores for the Star Trek films, Delia Derbyshire’s haunting electronic manipulation on Doctor Who, and Barry Gray’s characterful chamber ensembles on Thunderbirds.

Relocation

A move to the seaside, working for Sony on the Singstar games in Brighton.

Making Noise

From feature Films Heathen & Darkest Day, to video games like Smoke & Sacrifice, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time and Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and many, many, many, many, many more
