EDM Example - podcast intro

Cheeky arrangement of 'Your Song' by Elton John

Elton John's 'Your Song' trumpet cover

This is the final dance number from 'Summer Solstice' (Sheffield People's Theatre.

The brief was 'Northern Soul, where different tribes show their individuality as well as a sense of togetherness. They start the show as separate entities and end it by dancing together as one big tribe.'

Check out the blog here where I go into detail the different themes I've created for each group: https://emilycomptonmusic.com/2021/07/13/summer-solstice-northern-soulstice/

The Ancients - slow and mysterious chords pre-recorded on trumpet

The Officials - a group of Sheffield City Council men and women who try to stop everyone gathering in Tudor Square for the Summer Solstice. Their theme is minor and jarring to start, conflicting with the other melodies, then becomes major when they reveal they are the Gods of Soul! (spoiler!!)

The Mystics - upbeat piano to show their bizarre personalities

The Northern Soul Wanderers - Norther Soul inspired music (which is all of the other themes coming together to create the final song)

The 10 minute track I wrote to welcome Amal to Sheffield, in collaboration with Sheffield Theatres, Good Chance Theatre and Handspring Puppet Company.

I collected recordings of musicians from the community in Sheffield, and held workshops with asylum seekers and refugees who live in the community to say words of welcome to Little Amal

The Opening Number DEMO from Hansel & Gretel: Fairytale Detectives (Theatr Clwyd).
There’s evil afoot in Grimm City.

Humpty’s cracking, Rapunzel’s in a tangle and Weasel went pop without a trace. Fairytales are going missing and there are whispers of a witch on the loose. With cunning disguises, magnifying glasses and a briefcase full of breadcrumbs, Hansel and Gretel gather a team of folklore friends to solve these nursery rhyme crimes.

Dust for prints, crack codes and chase down suspects in this immersive Christmas adventure for under 11s and their families.
