Singer-songwriter (etc) in Cumbria.

Anne-Marie Sanderson opens a new chapter with her new single, Turning of the Year, offering both an invitation and a manifesto: ‘It’s time to set a new intention, focus our attention / Follow this breath to its full potential...’.

Old Light, her forthcoming debut album [5 Sep 24] promises to be well worth the wait.  Touching on themes of nature, personal growth, and ancestral wisdom, the album is also rich in musical scope, paying homage to diverse influences from folk, pop and jazz. The end result is a signature sound crafted with care in Anne-Marie’s home studio, where she took on the roles of multi-instrumentalist, arranger, recording engineer and producer.

In an age where attention is spread thin and our focus seems constantly blurred by peripheral darkness, Sanderson’s songs seek out glimmers of hope and create space for them to shine. There is an understated authority to her work and an irresistible inevitability to its emotional momentum. Each note and every word is significant, an essential part of the greater whole. Or to borrow from the album’s soulful second single If, ‘everything has got its right place / everything has got its right time / and everything has got a balance / and everything will work out fine.’

"a gloriously wide vista of astonishing grown-up tales which both fascinate and delight – the overall result, complex and immersive, is mesmerising... A bold, unusual and most beautifully constructed body of work." - Tap the Feed Magazine (2018)

I'm a composer/arranger based in Warwickshire, UK - studied music at the University of East Anglia.  Presently doing freelance work.

Mostly work in classical/contemporary instrumental and electronic works, but also varied soundtracks and jingles.

My discography includes works for chamber and orchestral ensembles but have been experimenting more with electro-acoustics.  I've also written several scores for short films and video game projects but always interested in new requests - if you need a soundtrack doing for film or game, or know of anyone who may need one and you think I may be appropriate, then do let me know!
