To celebrate Shakespeare’s birthday the BBC broadcast the classic 2004 production of Richard III starring Douglas Henshall and Geraldine James. I composed the soundtrack which features gamelan, 24 inch gong, dragon drum, shakers and extended playing techniques on the violin and cello.

Soon to be released single from the album, Side Road, Countenance is inspired by the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges.  Moog Model D, sequenced Moog Sub 37, Analogue Drum machine, Acoustic Upright Piano. Click here to learn more.

The latest addition to the studio is the Minimoog Model D, a limited edition reissue of the classic 1970s analogue synthesiser.  The sound is so distinctive and beautiful…and this was the last one available in Australia.

Silver Domes is the first track to be released from my forthcoming electronic instrumental album, Side Road.  It’s a post apocalyptic analogue synth anthem and features upright piano, Arp Odyssey on lead, Moog Model D on sequenced bass and Sequential Prophet 6 on pads. I have been exploring long angular melodies, random chord sequences, Arpeggiators, polyrhythms, arrhythmia and unusual musical forms. Click here to learn more.

This is a track from my forth-coming album, Side Road. It was inspired by the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges.  Instrumentation includes Moog Model D on lead, Mellotron on flutes, Moog Sub 37 on bass and Sequential Prophet 6 on pads.  I’m interested in Polyrhythms, random, long melodic phrases and the unexpected.

This year is my 11th year working for HiT Entertainment/Mattel.  It has been a real honour and privilege to be a core creative on one of their most successful children’s properties.

I’m slowly building my new modular system and to kick things off I have installed two semi-modular Moog Mother 32’s…and they sound gorgeous.  The modular system will run alongside my Moog Sub 37, Moog Voyager, Korg Arp Odyssey, Sequential Prophet 6, Korg Minilogue and Arturia Minibrute.

Series 11 of Fireman Sam has just been given the green light, so its back to Pontypandy I go.  The world of Fireman Sam has expanded considerably with new characters, locations and vehicles so that means more themes and a greater musical palette.  This will be my 6th series and 4th feature film of Fireman Sam.

New additions to the studio include the newly released Sequential Prophet 6 and Moog Sub 37.  Two beautiful, classic sounding, analogue synthesisers that compliment each other perfectly.

Currently in production, Alien Alert is the the latest Fireman Sam film that sees Sam take on alien invaders.  David Tennant (Dr Who) stars in this latest feature.  I am busy in the studio working on my 50’s theremin and modular synthesis techniques.
