This was a very enjoyable and highly collaborative project which involved working closely with the director Charlene to craft the music to help tell her story as effectively as possible.
Very happy with how it turned out and was a privilege to be asked to work on such a personal film.
The composition process involved a long period of exploration of different ways to process my piano, synths and various sounds from the natural world relative to the film through tape and other mediums, which were then arranged to picture until we found the appropriate emotional resonance for the story. Charlene was keen for the soundtrack to be atmospheric and to unfold slowly, leaving space for the viewer, which hopefully we achieved.
The Sun Is Up Forever:
On a hot summer’s day, Freya a young daughter seeks to soak up the sun but finds her thoughts are preoccupied with her mother at home.
A short film by @oldhallfilms in association with the @bfinetwork with funds from the National Lottery.

Score for NBCUniversal's "Faceless"
I recently had the pleasure of working with What’s The Story Sounds? creating the original music for their new NBCUniversal true-crime podcast ‘Faceless’ – 7 x 30′ episodes released October 2022.
I created a lot of original sounds for the cues by recording the Taishogoto Japanese harp in various ways, and processing it through a number of Eurorack modules to find some unusual sounds and textures.
