Description: Signals is a short film clip provided by Heavyocity for their Foundations Competition. This piece was made entirely with their free Foundations instruments, bar the percussion line.

A collection of film score works composed by Stephen O'Connell. While he spans many different genres and styles, and often has a multi-genre approach to composition that sees many cross overs within the pieces themselves, the hallmark of his works are typically simple, but dramatic melodies in vast soundscapes, always creating tension and drama through subtlety and finesse.

My entry to the Berlin International Film Score Competition, a piece inspired by the changes in the story, from arid desert planet to a beautiful oasis. The changes can be felt in the music and it reflects both the wonder and the sadness in the story.

Bridgerton - Spitfire Audio Scoring Competition (2022)

Here you go guys a little exclusive mix for the holidays. It started out just being a little edit for social media to really showcase the strings, but the reaction from you all was insane so I decided to drop it. Now it's honestly my favourite version of the song so I really hope you all like it!

This is the second half to a film score I have been working on for a short final year film project called 'Mum and Dad.'

Wolfborn By BrunuhVille

A really short piece of orchestral music which was to be set to spoken word (but was a bit too much, haha), concerning how something seemingly so innocent can be so evil, and how one can break oneself free out of it. 4/21/2011

You create the film in your mind while you listen.

Score Relief 2021, hosted by The Cue Tube, provided me with an open slate when scoring to the short animation from Blender Foundation, titled Spring. With such a focus on the dramatic journey this young woman has to go through to drag her land out of winter and into spring, it gave me a chance to explore a more textural score, with a slightly dark and mysterious edge. With all creative decisions entirely down to me, I chose to embody the wonder and mystical nature of the ritual and go down a different path than others may have travelled with their scores.
