Cold Call – TV Drama Score

I worked as Composer and Head of Music Department on the Channel 5 drama Cold Call.

The score needed to support tension and unease without becoming heavy-handed. My approach was to build a soundworld that could carry suspense, ambiguity and emotional pressure while still leaving space for the drama to breathe. Rather than simply underlining every moment with “something bad is happening” music, I focused on atmosphere, pacing and restraint.

Projects like this are a good example of the side of composition I particularly enjoy: shaping music around story, subtext and rhythm of scene, while staying responsive to editorial needs and the broader arc of the programme. I also particularly enjoyed working with director Gareth Tunley on this production.

I handled the composition and broader music delivery for the production.
