Current: Music for BBC Podcast series

Current: Music for 'Treasure' animation, dir. Samantha Moore

Music for 'Sky Orchestra' - August 2020 Part of an immersive sound/arts project to play music from multiple hot air balloons over cities (in this case, Bristol UK)

Delighted to be working on several poetry and sound pieces for the BBC's New Creatives strand-available on iPlayer, and I've just completed music and sound for short HUNGER films for the UN/Floating Harbour Films.

'Mighty Beast'  won GOLD in the 2014 Radio Academy Awards, having been commissioned for 'Between the Ears' for Radio 3.  Another foray into this strand is my radiophonic work 'A Season in Hell' abridged and directed by Sara Davies, in which I wrote and recorded three songs performed by Robert Wyatt.  Several other BBC radio dramas are among my most celebrated work.

I co-composed the music for 'The Great Fire' and 'The Town' for ITV, and have scored many documentaries and short films. I have a feature film score in development.
