  • Manhunt score at Sundance

    DSC00101
    This is my notebook for the score of the forthcoming documentary film ‘Manhunt’ directed by Greg Barker. The film premieres at Sundance 2013 this coming week and tells the story of the CIA’s hunt for Bin Laden. It’s a great counterpoint to Zero Dark Thirty as it shows the frustrations, errors and dangers faced by the largely female intelligence officers, aka ‘the Sisterhood’.

    Here’s a track or two from the soundtrack I’ve written.

  • Play with fire

    This December I wrote & directed the music for the 2013 New Years Eve celebrations at the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The event was enormous & featured full symphony orchestra, orchestrated fountains, dancers, flame blasts and the most enormous pyrotechnic display I’ve ever seen.

    The fireworks were timed to a piece I wrote which you can hear below called Play with Fire. You can see the pyro display at the youtube link below. Hope you like it…
