For a 48-hour film project based on Twin Peaks.

The palette is now close enough that I can alter the music while maintaining the feel of the original theme.

With thanks to Angelo Badalamenti.

Find Me - 48 Hour Competition Entry (Tribute to David Lynch)

Theme composed for an online game following the adventures of the USS Sirius.

USS Sirius Theme

I created a typical BBC 70s science fiction children's TV show sound with very British Stack sounding electric guitars with nice long reverb and then bolted on electronic drums, bass and pads. Still used the full BBCSO Discover strings section for richness.

A fan tribute to both the fantastic TV Series theme by John Addison and to the star Angela Lansbury for her portrayal of the author and crimefighter Jessica Fletcher. (Passed away 11th of October 2022)

Murder She Wrote For Angela Lansbury

Stargirl Soundtrack Competition Entry

Inspired by an action scene from the 2015 Hungarian Film: 'Saul Fia' (Son of Saul)directed by László Nemes.

For any musicians interested, I based the composition around the 'Hungarian' scale/mode.

Cosmos Laundromat - Competition Entry

A take on a request to update the TV series theme.

My version is based on the style of one of my favourite TV composers of the 70s & 80s & 90s, Mike Post. (Magnum PI, Hill Street Blues, The A-Team, Law and Order, etc.)

Falcon Crest Proposed Revamp

The first in a series of works inspired by Barry Longyear's Circus World Trilogy. This will evolve and expand as new themes are written and over time the various themes will start to echo one another as it becomes a more cohesive series.

"Earth no longer has a circus, and the circus no longer has Earth. I can't help feeling they're both a little less because of it." - John J. O'Hara.

The Last Show On Earth

A tidy-up of a theme from 2019 for a student pilot of a post apocalyptic Science Fiction TV show.

A theme I wrote as a teen based upon a childhood story I made up. I even notated the music in manuscript. I don't think I still have that original piece of paper, but the theme stuck in my head all these years.

A retro-styled song in the ilk of fifties love ballads, made as a background for our 2017 entry 'Sealed With a Kiss' in which two lovers who kiss at the exact moment of a nuclear bombing find their bodies inextricably fused into a grotesque Siamese monstrosity.

Sealed With A Kiss 2017 (My Heart Explodes)

Music I was privileged to composed for one of my literary heroes, Barry B. Longyear, my favourite Science Fiction author.  This music introduces his reading of his own short story 'The Green'. You can view it on YouTube here:

Theme From 'The Green' by Barry B. Longyear

This is a composition by my colleague and friend Alex Lampe, (based in the Netherlands)for my production of 'The Quake' - a nostalgia piece retracing a pre-earthquake journey through the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Alex plays all of the guitars in the piece (one rhythm and three separate leads). The accompanying orchestral arrangement is mine.

Alex Lampe on guitar, this is just a first improvisation as he works on other complex pieces for the bridge and body of the piece. Already showing promise and looking forward to the final result.

Song from the Aberdeen-based production 'Piano Man'. Performed by the composer. Fortunately, I didn't have to sing in the final version.

Diablo's Lair Pno With Intro & Composer's Vox

A self indulgence in writing a piece that plays essentially the same backwards as forwards. Written and recorded over the course a week or so for the short film: 'A Palindrome Life' directed by Sean Bruce Monteith.
