About me

Hi! My name is Chris and I am a composer and sound designer for film, TV, animations, and everything in between! Having worked at Trevor Horn's SARM Studios (as well as playing in bands from a young age) I focus on performance when composing, also incorporating various studio techniques to strive for sounds and textures that excite me.

Equally at home sending a synthesiser through a guitar pedal or composing a paired-back piano piece, I can work work across a range of styles and genres; I specialise in no one thing. However, evident in all of my work is a desire to serve whatever is happening on screen, and to do whatever it takes to get there.

During my time in recording studios, I learned that bending over backwards to meet the needs of the client is the ultimate aim, and I hold onto this notion in all composing work that I undertake. Although I have turned my focus to composition and sound design, I am still very much open to undertaking any mixing or production work; I look forward to hearing from you!
