I am a composer with over 20 years’ experience scoring for television and film, including long-running and internationally distributed series such as The Brokenwood Mysteries, Westside, Outrageous Fortune, and My Life Is Murder. My work is grounded in storytelling—developing themes and sonic palettes that not only support narrative but become an integral part of a show’s identity. I’m drawn to projects that emphasize a distinctive musical voice across main titles, end credits, and episodic cues. I specialize in crafting memorable, character-driven themes that evolve across a series while maintaining cohesion. I design flexible cue systems that can be reworked, expanded, and repurposed throughout a production—ensuring both creative consistency and practical efficiency in post. From a production standpoint, I deliver fully broadcast-ready music, including stems and alternative mixes tailored for editorial flexibility. I’m used to working closely with producers, directors, and editors, responding quickly to feedback, and meeting tight delivery schedules without compromising quality. Beyond technical delivery, I bring a collaborative mindset and a deep understanding of how music functions within television—pacing, tone, and emotional impact. My goal is always to enhance the storytelling while giving the series a unique and recognisable sonic signature. 🎬 JOEL HAINES…I am a composer with over 20 years’ experience scoring for television and film, including long-running and internationally distributed series such as The Brokenwood Mysteries, Westside, Outrageous Fortune, and My Life Is Murder.
