Quiet start, with fast staccato bass and cello, middle and ending build to burst with more instrumentation.

The Working Day

At the time I made this, I was listening to the OST for Bram Stoker's Dracula, hence a lot of celeste and bells. I had also just seen Inception and decided that it sounded like a Bond movie, what with the big brass blares. So i wanted to make something similar, and made this.

Dracula, Killed By Bond

This is an old track that I composed as an attempt to try and replicate the strange chord patterns and brass blares of Bernard Herrmann. I reworked it and now its more Zimmer than Herrmann. Damn it.

Bernard

Starts quiet, builds to blaring horns. The ending is a slightly different melody. Blaring horns yet again.

Bethany

My buddy Mikel made a short so i made this for it. Very JC, very similar to a lot of the stuff i do. Didn't spend a lot of time on this, so perhaps could to make it a little more interesting.

Marhaba

Yet another Goblin/Giallo/Carpenter esque piece of music that I am working on.

Talons

Did this a while ago when I came across the acapella version of the song. Just tried putting some side chain compression on the bass with the drums as the signal, and it sounds a LOT better. I am loving side chain right now. :)

Bring the Noise - Public Enemy (punk rock remix)

Something I am working on, even tho it sounds like everything else I have ever done! Ha

The Medieval Dead

Recorded this a while back. Never got to finish it! Hardcore! :)

Choose Your Destructor

Coffin Corner

These cues are from the Cartoon Comedy Children library music disc released by the BBC. Amazing.

85 The Burp Tune

The Rallying Cry

Was making music last night, and this stumbled out of me. Reminds me of the steel drum type music from Commando. So I'm obviously happy with it! Commando kicks dick.

Electric Commando

These are the cues that I composed for the documentary Our Year - a Season with the Stirling Clansmen.

In 2012/13, the Stirling Clansmen narrowly lost out in their quest for the national championship, at home to the Birmingham Lions. This year, the team returned with a renewed focus and drive to overcome last year's shortfall and make their way to the national final in Leeds. Can the team complete the dream and win it all?

This documentary follows the Stirling Clansmen university american football team from the end of last season, and throughout the 2013/14 season, on the pitch as well as on the training field. We hear from the key senior players in their final year with the team (before they graduate) on what it's like to balance life as a student as well as being a part of the team, and a leader of the squad. Learn about all the traditions of the team, as well as their experiences from the season, and their goals for the future.

Early reviews:

"Just like everything Gridiron TV does - I had big expectations and they managed to go a step further from that. Production is flawless, and it really did remind me of ESPN documentaries. We followed the team on TDEU, and now seeing the documentary just made it even more special. Amazing work, amazing team, and this documentary is without any doubts - a must see!" - Mia Bajin, www.Touchdown-Europe.net owner


"the serendipitous poetry makes the story worthy of any Hollywood sports movie.... overall I though it was a brilliant film" - Starburst magazine

The Foreboding Fear

So I was inspired to try and make some music by a recent short film that has been shot. It has developed (slightly!) away from what I imagine useable for said short, but thought i would put it up here, regardless :)

Blood Loss

Still the best piece of music I have ever made, in my mind; definitely the best piece of electronic music I have made. 

Madeleine

Messing around with the guitars and made this little riff - sounds like that Earth band, hence the title. Probably is one of their songs. Ha. Who knows.

Earth, Sludge

Made these when i went 'home' - one on my way 'home', on the train, and one while at my friend Jase's place - his ace daughter Ava named the fucker Tacos! :)

Tacos

Heading Home

Buck Buck Buck 2

Buck Buck Buck - 2

So I have been writing a script for this competition, Short Cuts to Hell, and the title of the track is one of the titles that you are given, as part of the competitions restraints. My idea is about these kids that go to a hardcore punk gig and the band play a song so loud that everyone dies. I figured i would have to write a track - or perhaps get some unsigned band to let me use one - so i did this.

6 SECONDS TO DIE!

Re-did this with new samples. Hell, its an un-mastered mp3 so it probably wont sound any different. Well spent £400 it seems... ha!

Seven Notes in Black 3 - Albion

A quick track i made earlier today. Not finished or anywhere near finished. Just something i wanted to try out.

Eleven8

Soundtrack to a short film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0lE-bpNjhM

Very quiet and slow melody, piano, some very quiet brass and strings in the 2nd half.

In Darkness

I have been making music, non-professionally for many years. Although I did study music at A-Level in Secondary School I haven't had any teaching since then, and due to studying guitar and drums, everything you hear on this page using orchestral or synth instrumentation, I have had to learn myself through trial and error, and of course by listening to lots of music. Hope you like it!
