In case anyone's interested in the score process behind #SecretGarden I wrote this article for the #BBC on some of the ways nature found it's way into the score, and how we found a little bit of magic...

First episode of Secret Garden went out on Sunday - and seems to have gone down very well - phew. I thought I would share a bit of the main titles over these gorgeous mayflies from our River episode.
Also thank you kindly to @bbcradio3 for sharing my music across the nation's airwaves this morning!
Next episode is out on Sunday at 6pm on @bbcone and set in my recent spiritual home of Bristol. If you've ever wandered around the streets of Bristol at night you will have had a fox stare deep into your soul. If you want a repeat of that - watch the show on Sunday.
More music soon!

Magic, mystery and the most awesome cast of characters. Sir David Attenborough's Secret Gardens comes out April 6th on BBC One.
Alongside an outrageously talented team of lovely film-makers, sound-designers, production staff and of course with the sonorous tones of Sir David for inspiration, I spent most of last year locked away writing the score for this show. I can't overstate how thrilled I am for it to be out in the world.
The six episodes run from April 6th up until Sir David's 100th birthday. I'll be sharing lots of moments from the score in the coming weeks!
Enjoy the trailer - music not by me! but everything in the show is ;).

Taking a step away from the computer to get a little hands on. TouchAble running on my ipad to control Ableton. Moog Mother-32 providing propulsion.
There's something very fundamental about the sound, and it has no problem competing with an orchestra if treated right.
Thanks to @christopher.white_ for introducing me to it years back.

At the end of the month, I've got some really exciting news to share. For the better part of last year, I spent a great deal of time locked away writing nearly four hours of music for a show that comes out next month.
However, I've been remiss in sharing basically all of my work that I've done over the last few years. So in the lead up to next month I'm going to share a few tracks and snippets of work.
This was from an awesome show called Animal Genius I scored for National Geographic and Disney+. Inside the egg all is quiet?
A little while back I did a full redesign of my website and uploaded a tonne of goodies.
As I've been completely absent from social media for the last few years I though I'd share it...
Enjoy!

Back in the early part of the year, I had the absolute pleasure of writing the score for this stunner!
Currently going out every Sunday on BBC2 at 8pm.
Made very easy by the sick BBC production team, and with the help of @zupryknatalia@dave.malkin@rachaelphilipcomposer and @trfcomposer who all made the score sing with their wonderful playing.

End of a fab week at Cannes Film Festival with team Solarplexus as part of the #cinefondation selection. Awesome times hanging with this kooky bunch #cannesfilmfestival
Its been a long two years, but yesterday I graduated from the @nftsfilmtv with an MA in composing and recieved the Christie award for most promising student. Im feeling very proud, and slightly overwhelmed, but moreover just ridiculously happy to have spent the last two years with some of the awesomest, crazy talented people ive ever met. Cant wait to see what you all do! X #nftsgradshow #composing #filmcomposer
