About me
I have been working professionally as a composer, double bass and bass guitarist for over 20 years.I am comfortable composing and producing music in any genre. I can write to a brief and I can produce high quality bespoke music that captures and enhances the emotions and mood of the film images. I am classically trained, studied music at Queen's University and I have been touring, writing and recording with rock, pop, electro, indie and jazz bands since leaving university. I find this diverse range of musical experiences enables me to understand and write in any style.
I have written bespoke orchestral scores, music for films and documentaries, theme music and bumpers for a BBC(NI) TV magazine program, music for theatre shows, jazz, indie, dance and pop tunes. I can also write multilayered music for apps and computer games.
My recent commissions include orchestral score and sound design for a play, orchestral score, incidental music and sound scape for a short horror film and music for 2 documentaries all due for release later in 2015.
My career as a double bassist has seen me perform with a diverse range of acts. I have played at gigs, festivals and on live radio and T.V. shows around the world. Some of the festivals I have played at included Rosskilde (Denmark), Bergen (Norway), Pheonix (UK), Witness (Ire), Midem (France) Milwaukee Summerfest, NY and Boston Fleadhs (USA) as well as playing in venues such as The Brixton Academy, Glasgow Barrowlands, Manchester Academy and The House of Blues in Boston.
Additional skills:
I work with music production software such as Pro tools 11, Logic Pro, Vienna Symphonic Library and Native Instruments. I also use real instruments and my studio is equipped with good mics and outboards.
I have a lot of experience recording, producing and mixing music and voice artists as well as synchronising music to a cut film.
