I'm a Kickstarter stretch goal incentive for 2001: An Odyssey in Words! Or, rather, some of my tunes are. I've composed three pieces inspired by Clarke's famous three laws, and a special, 11- minute 'ceremony mix' of all three to make an epic journey through the stars and beyond.
FLOOD IS DONE! And now I'm on with scoring a couple of new animations for Red Star. I've plans to release the Flood soundtrack Album (did you know you can still buy/stream 'Look Across The Ocean' in most online music stores?). There's a series of posts I'm currently writing about the musical themes of Flood …

Flood: To The Sea, the third part of the Slung Low show for Hull City of Culture 2017 will be broadcast on BBC2 at 10pm this Saturday, 12th August as part of BBC Arts strand 'Performance Live'. It'll be on iPlayer for a month after that if you miss it. But you won't miss it, …

I’ve been working late evenings this week to get two theatre project scores out the door: Flood, a show about the end of the world as we know it, is in production *right now this very second* by Slung Low; and Partus, a heartwarming and honest show about childbirth in all its bloody glory.
Before I go headlong into burying my cortex in Flood music, for the next week or so I'm creating a few sound and music elements for two new projects: a mobile game and an online educational product, both of which will hopefully (touch wood) lead to similar work later down the line. A lot of my work …

Happy New Year! How are your resolutions going? Politics is proving pretty disturbing at the moment so I'm burying my head in the sand work for now... and for the foreseeable, as 2017 is fairly solidly booked up work-wise already, which is a relief in unstable economic times, and also so that I can legitimately ignore …

For the next month or so I'm working on two new pieces of theatre in Leeds. They're completely unrelated, but my gigs do have a tendency to clump geographically, as random things are apt to. I try not to read anything into it but my irrational neo-cortex doesn't half like inferring deep meaning into patterns where there …

I'm in the middle of composing the music for a small section of the concert that will commemorate the First World War Battle of the Somme in Heaton Park, Manchester, in the evening of 1st July. The concert will feature a children's choir, the Halle Orchestra, Lemn Sissay reading a new poem commissioned for the …

It's turning out to be rather a lovely end to 2015 - Both Emergency Story Penguin and 59 Minutes to Save Christmas are playing concurrently at The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. It's a bit surreal to see billboard advertisements for it dotted around the city centre but I'm attempting to deal with it without squealing …
