Heather Fenoughty

As composer for film, TV, theatre, adverts, games and online media, I’ve credits on BBC, Sky and ITV features, specials and documentaries. I’ve composed music for advertisements by CITV and other multinational companies.

One of my more recent works is Red Riding Hood: After Ever After, starring David Walliams and Dawn French for King Bert Ltd and Sky. The Christmas special was broadcast on Sky’s channels in December 2022 and now streams on Sky and Now TV.

I composed and mixed the score to the animated feature StarDog & TurboCat, by Red Star 3D animation studios. Starring Gemma Arterton, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy and Luke Evans, StarDog & TurboCat was released nationwide in UK cinemas in December 2019, and now plays regularly on streaming services.

My production music has featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, CNN Newsroom, CBS News, Channels 4 and 5 et al, and in games – for XBox, iOS and online flash games.

In the past, I’ve provided full post-production audio services for shorts and online narratives, from dialogue editing and recorded sound cleanup with sound effects, to final production, mixing and mastering. Now I’m focused on music composition, these audio skills still inform my work.

I create music and design sound for award-winning installation and contemporary theatre, often with Slung Low and Third Angel theatre companies. These scores have played in the West End, off-Broadway, for Sundance Theatre Lab, and at Singapore Arts Festival.

My scores can be heard in 4D theme park cinemas across the world in many of Red Star’s 3D CG animations.

I’ve composed an exclusive collections of production music for Premiumbeat, Synctracks, Melod.ie and MediaTracks.

I’ve written about creativity and the business of composing music at ScoreCastOnline.com, and spoken on the use of sound and music in media at universities and film events. I’ve sat on conference panels and juries for film, TV, games and library music for the Ivors Academy, BAFTA, BASCA, PRS, RTS and other film organisations.
