REMEMBER
0:00 / 0:00
Remember was composed for the short film Playday, accompanying Bubba’s realisation of the significance of his childhood, the fond memories and imagination that shaped him. The piece evokes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, reflecting on the innocence of the past and the bittersweet feeling of recognising just how precious those moments were.
THE FOREBODING
0:00 / 0:00
The Foreboding is a dark, cinematic composition built around a growing sense of tension and unease. The piece develops gradually, using atmosphere, texture and orchestral colour to create the feeling that something is approaching, without immediately revealing what that might be.
Rather than relying on constant intensity, the music allows suspense to build through restraint, giving the darker moments greater weight when they arrive. The aim was to create a piece that could sit naturally within film or television, supporting scenes of uncertainty, anticipation and impending danger.
THE FOREST
0:00 / 0:00
The Forest explores the feeling of comfort, belonging and wonder found within the natural world. The piece unfolds in three sections: the first introduces the forest as a warm and inviting place, filled with a sense of familiarity and discovery. The second moves into its more uncertain side, reflecting the fear and unpredictability brought by changing weather, unfamiliar creatures and the unknown. The final section brings these ideas together, celebrating the beauty of the forest precisely because it is always changing, finding comfort not in stillness, but in its constant cycle of change and renewal.
AFTER BATTLE
0:00 / 0:00
After Battle explores the grief, anger and bitter disappointment left in the aftermath of conflict. Rather than the triumph of victory, the piece reflects on what remains when the fighting is over: loss, exhaustion and the heavy realisation of what the battle has cost.
MORMONT
0:00 / 0:00
Mormont is a composition inspired by epic films and TV shows such as Gladiator, Django Unchained, Game of Thrones, and other action packed stories set in historical or fantasy worlds. My goal with this piece was to capture the grandeur and intensity of these narratives, blending a sense of high stakes adventure with moments of elegance and refinement.
The composition weaves together bold, cinematic themes designed to evoke the spirit of ancient battles and heroic journeys.
THE SEVENTEENTH YEAR
0:00 / 0:00
The Seventeenth Year is designed to evoke the emotional intensity of a dramatic romantic relationship, capturing both its soaring moments of hope and positivity as well as its periods of deep sorrow and heartbreak.
My aim was to convey the complex, often unpredictable nature of love, the joy and warmth it can bring, along with the inevitable challenges and moments of uncertainty. The music flows between these contrasting emotions, creating a dynamic soundscape that mirrors the highs and lows of a relationship.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
0:00 / 0:00
Industrial Revolution is a musical portrait of an Industrial Revolution factory and the divide between its workers and the industrialist who controls it. The solo violin represents the factory owner, commanding and detached, while the restless pizzicato and surrounding orchestral textures depict the workers below, caught in the repetitive machinery of factory life and labouring simply to earn a living.
