The short film First Darkness by artists Wyllie O’Hagan, that I wrote the music for, has won two awards at the Monaco Film Festival: Best Art Short Film and Best Original Music Short Film.
Pictured here are Denise and Clare at the awards ceremony in Monaco with Sir David Jason (sadly I wasn’t able to make it to the ceremony!)
This is great news and my big congratulations to Clare & Denise! I’m very proud to have my music win the award and hope the film gets more recognition for Clare & Denise’s great work.

Heretik is a short 30 second dramatic track ideal for car commercials or ads needing dark and mysterious music.

Asakusa Temple is a gentle and reflective instrumental music track with a calming Far Eastern feel featuring plucked harp, strings, light percussion and subtle acoustic guitar. Slow, sparse and contemplative background music with a mysterious and downtempo dreamy feel that would work well for films, human interest documentaries or visuals with a focus on travel, nature or geography.
Oriental sounding instrumental especially suited for geographic themes of China or Japan, or scenes with a mood of mystery or mellow intrigue (e.g. diving or underwater images). Would also make ideal background music for subjects of wellbeing, mindfulness, hypnotherapy or yoga videos.
Dramatic piano music featuring strings, brass and subtle percussion. Suitable as dramatic trailer music or for use as inspiring background music in human interest documentaries about overcoming adversity.
Especially suited for documentaries and trailers focused on stories of personal journeys, social uprising (e.g. Occupy protests or human rights issues) and financial or corporate battles. The music is serious, atmospheric and cinematic with a powerful feel of epic majesty and inner strength and would also work well in time lapse films and commercials.
Begins with a cyclic piano riff and slowly builds momentum with lots of hit points before starting a dramatic and inspiring climax at 2:48 when epic strings and brass lead the track to an emotional peak.

Here’s a short clip from a new documentary film by Colin Ruggiero called Exuma that features some of my music. The film features some stunning underwater and time lapse photography:
“The Exumas are a string of small islands in the Bahamas. “Exuma” is the first film to highlight the beauty of these remote “out islands.” The film is a view into this surreal world of sand, sky and water through the eyes and thoughts of a young woman who lives there. Underwater and time-lapse imagery are used to show a side of the Exumas that few people, even those lucky enough to have visited, have ever seen.”
