COMPOSER FOR THE SCREEN
Film, TV, Advertising, Games

▶ http://oliversad.ie ◀

I am a composer, producer and pianist based in Berkshire, UK.

I write beautiful music with live and virtual orchestras, live instrumentalists and vocalists. With studio production quality, I am able to seamlessly integrate recorded parts with modern sound design and electronic parts, and deliver music-sync’ed video demos.

Writing professionally since 2009, my work can be heard in numerous original feature film and short film scores, in adverts for web and tv, and in general web and tv production where licensed from high end music libraries.

Good working relationships with filmmakers are hugely important to me, where I have many years of experience in the spotting-writing-production cycle. With great communication, I always aim to make the director’s work as easy and hassle-free as possible, an ethos which has carried me through many successful projects.

Get in touch if you’re looking for a high quality soundtrack for your next production.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

just living my life, and recording part of it.

Affecting and a tad bonkers with a 60's pop sheen and melodic sensibility from the north of England.
