film music
Having worked over two decades in the concert music industry, during the past few years I have become increasingly involved in film, composing written scores and electro–acoustic soundscapes.
In my experience of composing for the screen, I realise that the knowledge and expertise I have gained from the concert world provides a rich resource on which I can draw.
Developing ideas that suit the vision of the director, can be likened to how an actor might choose a particular method to develop a character.
The ability to create a style and mood relies on technique, experience and a preparedness to listen for what the story is asking.
My most recent work has been composing the soundtrack to South Solitary, Shirley Barrett’s film that opened the Sydney Film Festival 2010.
