I'm an experienced composer and orchestrator for film and television. I’ve scored four series for RTÉ One and written for the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. I orchestrate my own works, prepare scores and parts for recording sessions, and I am confident running large orchestral sessions. I’m adept at realising convincing tracks with samples when needed, but I love collaborating with soloists and small ensembles to add character and life to my scores. As a multi-instrumentalist I also record extra instrumental layers and organic sounds in my studio to enhance tracks. I’m committed to high standards and open to new ideas and collaboration. I’m based in Bristol and available for projects in TV and film. You can hear my work via my website: bradleyayresmusic.com. Represented by DNA MUSIC _Email not available.
