I've noticed that there are a lot of TV shows and films I've written the music for on Youtube, so I've put together a channel and gathered them all together in one place...Please let me know if you find any more!!!

On Vacation

2009-06-22T08:57:00.004+01:00

It's the time of year for summer hols...Just back from a short break in my favourite place in the Cotswolds. Nice to have a bit of a break, as it's been a busy few weeks.

Shortly going for a long weekend in Cannes to (hopefully) see some proper sun and then off to see Spinal Tap at Wembley...Should be good fun!!! We discovered how nice Cannes was on our regular trip to MIDEM each January when it's so nice to have a break from English weather.

Back to business...Dating The Enemy (see sidebar for TX details) featuring my original theme music is still showing...A longer run than I expected!!!

Dating The Enemy

2009-06-02T15:50:00.003+01:00

New series of Dating The Enemy (see sidebar for TX details) featuring my original theme music is now showing.

A busy week!!!

2009-05-31T10:43:00.003+01:00

Fantastic session last week in the depths of the Suffolk countryside...Here is a pic of the studio...

...very rural as you can see. Here are my lodgings...

Classical production is very intensive what with reading the music, listening for birds/aeroplanes, keeping the artiste filled up with Earl Grey tea etc... So I didn't have much time for taking photos or Twittering, but it was a wonderful time with some fantastic music making. I've got a lot of post production to do on the recordings, so more details will follow when we're nearly ready for release.

I spoke to the director of Highland Emergency last week...The second series has been pencilled in for broadcast beginning on 22nd June on C5.

Session

2009-05-19T20:27:00.006+01:00

After a day of meetings in London yesterday, had a great day today knuckling down to compose some pieces for the next Artful release and a couple of solo Artful disks for release later this year. I'll be taking these with me (as well as my Sibelius scoring set up) for editing during breaks in next weeks recording session.

This session is really exciting!!! Artful has recently been lucky to publish and release music by some of the best rock and Jazz musicians and composers...Now, we're about to record one of the worlds best classical musicians for release on an Artful disk. I'd rather keep who this is under my hat until the music is at least in post production, but I can say that this person has received many international awards and honours and is world renowned for musicianship and scolarship.

We're booked into a beautiful recording studio which is hidden away in the east of England countryside and I'm looking forward to an inspirational time.

As you can see from the sidebar, there are plenty of TV repeats containing my music and there are signs of a new commission coming soon.

NAB!!!

2009-05-04T11:57:00.004+01:00

Just back from a trip to the USA, mainly to go to the NAB show in Las Vegas. Also took the opporunity to meet up with some friends in Beverly Hills and surprise my Auntie on her 84th birthday near San Diego!!!

The NAB show was great...Met up with some old friends and also some sub-publishers I've been working with for years, but have never met. I also had the opportunity to have a quick play with the latest Euphonix DAW controllers which I'm thinking about getting for my latest main studio refurb.

My current set up (based around a Yamaha 01x) would become a mobile set up and I'd also keep 'Studio 2' at the office, which is a Sibelius set up for score writing.

Loved the USA and will be visiting again very soon!!!

Got upgraded to this lovely suite on my latest visit to Ireland. The Merrion Hotel is our Dublin base :-) It's a fantastic hotel with a lovely restaurant and bar in the cellars as well as a great lounge bar and the Patrick Guilbaud Restaurant which produced some fantastic vegan food for me.

Had a fantastic time and made lots of new contacts.

The Hottest Place On Earth - BBC1

2009-03-08T13:55:00.003Z

"It's one of the most extreme regions on the planet, where daily high temperatures reach 60°C and the land is torn apart by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The Danakil desert in Northern Ethiopia is home to the nomadic Afar people – reputedly one of the toughest tribes in Africa. The area also happens to be a disputed border zone with Eritrea .

The Hottest Place on Earth is a major two x one-hour BBC / Discovery co-production produced by Lion TV. Presented by Kate Humble with vet Steve Leonard, and geologist Dougal Jerram, the programme investigates how people, animal and plant life manage to live in such a hostile environment."

Showing on BBC1 on Thursday 19th March and Thursday 26th March at 9pm.

More repeats!!!

2009-02-21T09:53:00.003Z

One of the great things about writing for TV is that programmes are repeated, quite often some time after they were made, so it's a nice reminder of music which I've written which I'd long forgotten!!! Here are a couple I spotted in the TV schedule...

New Home DIY is on all day on Discovery Real Time Extra on Saturday 21st February.

Rubble Trouble with Dominik Diamond is on Discovery Realtime from 6am to 8am Monday 23rd to Wednesday 25th February.

Lovely trip to Cannes for MIDEM. The first couple of days were a bit overcast and rainy, but the three after that were glorious!!!

Met many old friends and sub-publishers from around the world and made some interesting new contacts too. Good to hear that Artful is doing well overseas.

Found a fantastic restaurant called Festival (thanks to our Scandinavian sub-publishers) which is near the Carlton. Great food...Best spinach I have ever tasted and they went to great pains to make sure that my food was vegan.
