Pre Battle Music

This ambient soundtrack portrays the vastness of space using slowly moving pitch and harmonics. The breathy timbre of the melodies is eery, as if aliens are singing a hymn that echoes in the emptiness of space. 

The sounds were created by isolating the reverb tail of a synth that was then manipulated in Logic X using various effects. These tails cross fade into one another to create a slowly morphing and dissonant soundtrack. 

Ambient Space Soundtrack

I was recently commissioned to create a backing track for the NRL Indigenous All Stars 2017 match. This version of the anthem is designed to include two verses of the lyrics - one in an Australian indigenous language and another in english.

It was broadcast on the 10th of February with other pre-match entertainment.

It would be great to see indigenous language versions of the anthem adopted more widely.

Australian National Anthem Backing Track

I was commissioned to write a track for the David Jones Christmas Window display. Made with the help of Oliver Thorpe (swoon vocals and guitar), Brendan Clark (double bass and presents) and Nicholas Meredith (drums and christmas cheer)
