We have been composing and producing film and library music since establishing our partnership in 2006. Our work is broadcast on major networks in the USA, the UK and Europe. We love making music with emotional impact and we're known for using the cello as our musical calling card.

Dan Cullen

Dan has been composing and songwriting since childhood. In 2006 he made the decision to put decades of musical experience to professional use. Since then he has composed film scores and library cues, contributed to major releases by Immediate Music, and collaborated with the Electronica duo, Ancient Astronauts (on the ESL label). He has also been a finalist and runner up at the People's Music Awards and the G-Tech Driven Creativity Awards

Deryn Cullen

After meeting her future husband, composer Dan Cullen in 2005, Deryn left the mad rush of London where she had been working as a freelance orchestral and session cellist, and moved to Leeds in 2006. She composes in partnership with Dan, arranges and records cello parts and string sections. She is in high demand as a session cellist, and works with award-winning composers and songwriters in the UK, USA and Europe.

Unlocking Our Sound Heritage (UOSH) is an ambitious partnership project led by the British Library and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to address the threat facing the UK’s sound heritage. Sounds held on physical formats risk being lost as the carriers degrade over time and the equipment to play them is no longer produced. The project aims to transform access to and preserve the nation’s sound heritage, to create sustainable centres of excellence in digital audio preservation and to involve new audiences in engaging with their audio heritage in innovative ways.

Archives+ at Manchester Central Library is the hub partner for the North West region, which covers Cumbria, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. The hub will digitise around 15,000 recordings on 5,000 cassette and open reels held all over the region. The British Library will archive the digital files and provide access to a proportion of them online. The project will recruit volunteers across the region who will spend time learning how to sort, catalogue and promote the region's sound heritage.
