AEPL recently released “Revenge Is Sweet", a single cue by myself… The cue was originally written for the trailer for “Blanket”, a short film I scored some years ago. After years of it being on the shelf, Aurora suggested I dusted it off, gave it a bit of a mix and let it go free!
Originally released independently in 2014, “Bewailing Under the Eastern Sky” attempts to fuse traditional Indian and wester classical instrumentation and time signatures to create a textural emotion piece of music which might lightly appease both cultures. The cue was later released under AEPL in 2017 to bring everything under one roof.

To celebrate the completion of the short documentary film "One Day", AEPL has released my music cue as a single which is now available to buy and stream worldwide on all major digital streaming services. The cue is also on sale from us directly in the Aurora Eclipse Productions Ltd store.
“Blanket was a tricky film to write, given the subject matter and minimal dialogue approach, It took me quite a while to discover how to best voice the film musically and keep things minimal enough to not overpower the film. Blanket is a real whirlwind as it tackles a multitude of emotions including depression, happiness, despair. romance, thriller, suspense, horror, and regret…”
Since the turn of 2016, I feel I've grown musically and am moving into newer realms. I wanted a way to catalogue my progress so far..I see all these pieces as stepping stones in terms of my developing as a composer and while these early scores are very minimal and elementary in terms of composition, I'm very proud of them! It's great for me to be able to listen back to some of the films I've worked on; as such, I have created "Awakening, The Early Scores".

Maritime Discoveries is a dark ambient track I designed while studying at University. The track is build up entirely of “found sound”, no instrumentations have been used. I fused, stretched, pitched, layered, faded, reversed and essentially went a little mad during the design, which he says happened during a single evening.
