It’s been a while since my last post; couple of major changes in my life and a move to a new town will do that. Without further ado:
A month ago I completed work on the soundtrack to Untitled Dystopia, a film written and directed by Martin Lejeune. It was a fun project for me, as [...]

This is a piece from the upcoming film Armalion. With Nico Mendrek’s permission it featured in an insert on Afro Cafe on SABC2 last week (I’ll try and upload that video soon), so I’m sure he doesn’t mind if I post it here.
In this scene, our heroes are set upon by a giant dragon summoned [...]

While I can’t currently post my commercial work, here’s a personal project. This piece of music began life as a statement of ideas for Intrepid. Strangely, none of the themes it contains made it into the final soundtrack, though perhaps some elements did.
It is also something of a stress test for my new composing rig: [...]

I completed the score for the scifi fanfilm Orphans of War this week. With Rob’s permission, I’m posting the end credits theme here, cos I’m pleased with how it turned out. I love writing epic space music.
This theme pops its head up in various places throughout the film, mostly when large spaceships are moving majestically [...]

At last! after many cups of tea and much mucking about, the Intrepid OST album is available for download. I want to thank Jeff Hayes for designing such sumptuous cover art - you’ll find his inserts and CD labels inside the archive.
Also big thanks to Dylan Feeney for writing the original and beautiful Intrepid theme, [...]

So, we’re still on track to release the OST next week, which I’m looking forward to as a personal milestone. I’ve spent so much time working on other people’s projects; it’s really exciting to be releasing something of my own for a change.
Until the official release, here’s another clip. This is scene 22, the second [...]

This is a clip from the back end of Scene 9 where Navar is trying to discourage the crew from investigating the new alien species too closely. I had originally intended this to be Navar’s theme of duplicity, but it just didn’t pan out that way.
In the end, it just didn’t fit where I intended [...]

As you might be aware, our first episode of Intrepid was released last month. It’s pretty cathartic to have it out after all this time.
I intend to release an OST album in the fullness of time, and will do so once certain issues with permissions have been resolved. In the meantime, I’ll be posting individual [...]

I’m currently working on the score for a German sword & sorcery fanfilm called Armalion, based on the computer game, in turn based on the minitures game of the same name. This will be my second collaboration with Nic Mendrek from Almost No Budget Films (I love that name) - last year I contributed some [...]
