Composing for stage
My compositions for live performance span genres from big band, to country, to classical - and everything in between.
Included here are clips from my work for Police Cops The Musical and The Starship Osiris, as well as two pieces that I composed for performance by The Royal Northern Sinfonia and Sacconi Quartet.
Composing for visual media
I was commissioned to score the latest Barbour campaign from Alexa Chung. My brief was to build an ethereal sound world primarily using string instruments with influence from composers such as Philip Glass and Caroline Shaw. The campaign was launched on 8/9/22.

In 2021, I composed an original score for Police Cops The Musical - a brand new musical theatre production premiering in November 2021 at New Diorama Theatre.
In 2015, I composed and produced music for award winning Edinburgh Fringe show The Starship Osiris.
During my final year at Newcastle University I composed The Red Kite, a piece for chamber orchestra which was selected for performance by The Royal Northern Sinfonia.
I designed the sound and composed the music for my team's entry to the Historically Accurate Game Jam 5 in January 2022, a browser-based tower defence game set in 14th-century Indonesia. The game placed 4th out of more than 100 entries to the jam.
In 2019 I composed the original song I Like Sweets for Police Cops' award-winning original production Badass Be Thy Name.
Shipwreck Adventure is a browser-based platformer set in an underwater shipwreck featuring my sound design and original music. It was an entry to the Godot Wild Jam 41 in January 2022, the theme of which was the sea.
Sublime of Spring is a short film directed by Jules Deane which includes my original score. In this piece, I used several individual layers of piano recorded at different distances to create a mysterious, magical sound. Underneath the pianos, I recorded wine glasses tuned to different pitches, which added to the atmospheric, ethereal sound of the piece.
Sometimes I like to give myself a challenge, both for the joy of it and so that I can improve my practice. In this video, I have rescored a trailer made for the 2016 war Drama 'Their Finest'. I wanted to work on creating a realistic sounding orchestra using sample libraries and improve my ability to time cues.
