Additional information:
Since turning full-time to writing 18 months ago I have written for 2 indie films, a theatre production, retro computer game, animation, production music, choral works, etc.
I am able to write in various genres, and “in the style of” – I have a good ear, and am sympathetic to the director’s ideas and vision.
e.g.
a) In our Narnia theatre production January 2015, the show was missing appropriate music for some scenes, so I wrote a Battle theme, Christmas theme and a Jive theme. Plus atmospheric underscore music throughout.
b) In my first film “White Dreams (2015)”, the director loved Christopher Nolan and Hans Zimmer - so I created the “B&W Spirits” theme for him, which he loved.
