Since finishing the children's animation series IGAM OGAM I've been collaborating on an album of 1960's style jazz for Boosey and Hawkes,
as well as scoring Cyrus Mirza'shafa's excellent short film "Worm".
I'm also working with local directors on a couple of short films, in between composing a book of jazz studies for pedal harp.
There are some samples and dowloads below.....

IGAM OGAM
Animation series produced by CALON aimed at the preschool market.
Produced for S4C, Channel 5 and ZDF enterprizes. This series marks my debut as a lyricist, and you can check out the finely crafted syllables
in this trailer.
During development I tried many different world styles of music against an overall African feel. Here are some of the sketches, some of which made it to the final series:
Salsa
Mambo
African feel 2
Samba
African feel 1
Reggae feel

HIRAETH
This period drama was made for Signal films in 2008. Although potentially romantic, the film explores some very dark issues. You can see the opening credits here

EXPIRY DATE
This teen comedy/horror movie "Expiry Date" premiered in Autumn 2006 and
was directed by Karen Bird. It's now available on DVD. I was also lucky enough to write the music for one of Karen's showreels, which is well worth a look.
You can see a short clip from Expiry Date here, or hear some more music written for the film here.
