MUSIC COMPOSITION
UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD
Four documentaries and one promo montage, this campaign for University of Bradford was all about showcasing the true student experience. I worked as a sound recordist on the five day shoot and then composed five bespoke tracks themed around the stories of the individual students. Filmed mostly in slow motion with a thoughtful voiceover, each short documentary needed to create an emotive, ambient atmosphere of pride and reflection. The promo was a more energetic piece with sound design mixed in amongst the music composition.

Goodwin & Goodwin
This documentary required a lot of dynamics and sound elements to capture the creative ethos ‘Signs With Soul’. I recorded in the workshop for weeks, collecting and archiving different sounds from screwing, drilling, slicing, tearing and cutting. All these different sounds helped me create the soundtrack for the film. I used a range of techniques, such as making music and beats from recorded impacts and other workshop sounds.

CAPTAIN FAWCETT
This track was written and composed to act as a standalone bespoke piece of music, capturing the laidback spirit of the brand. Alongside the main promo, this music was adapted to produce two teasers for social media, using feedback loops from the guitars in the studio.

The Artist And The Machine
The Artist and the Machine is a film about Lorna Hamilton-Brown a knitting artist based in Hastings. I gathered recordings of the sea and used that to make up the music composition. As an experiment I decided to put the sound of the sea through a reverb unit and got some really interesting tones, these were used create the base atmosphere of the music at the start of the film.

Sottini IDENT
Sottini, the luxury bathroom designers, were rebranding and required a cinematic ident to launch the refreshed identity. I worked sound-to-picture to create this elegant sonic branding.

NIKE HYPERVENOM 3
Nike mashed up football with internet meme culture and FIFA video game clips, so we were able to composer some really frenetic music here. Part trap beats, part glitched crowd noise, this piece blended music and sound design in a chaotic and high energy style to match the campaign.

BUCKSWOOD OVERSEAS SUMMER SCHOOL
Every summer teenagers from around the world come to this school in East Sussex for an unforgettable experience. We spent 3 days filming at the summer school to capture the vibe. The music is acoustic, happy and relaxed to match the atmosphere on campus.
