    paper Video Game Music - Example 3: Horror

    In space, no-one can hear you scream. This is how I approach orchestral writing in the horror genre of games.

    paper Video Game Composition - Example 2: City Building Game

    The bustle of the city and the beating heart of its transport links, inspiring players to keep building - this is my orchestral writing turning to the genre of city building and simulation games.

    paper Video Game Composition - Example 1: Fantasy

    The campfire, a respite or a reunion, a place where the adventurer can rest and recuperate. This is an example of my orchestral writing when it’s turned to the fantasy genre of video games.

    Game footage is from Baldur’s Gate 3, which is the property of Larian Studios.

    paper Film Composition: Steam Locomotives In Profile - Locomotion

    Alongside the producer of the film (who wrote the rock music in this production), I wrote and produced the orchestral soundtrack. The documentary charts the story of one of the first railway locomotives.
