Phil Grabsky's brilliant "20 years in the making" documentary, "My Childhood, My Country" is now available to view on ITV and the ITV Hub. It follows a young Afghani boy (Mir) over 20 years of his life in the war torn country. I was asked to write some new music for this documentary which also features music by the late (and brilliant)  Dimitri Tchamouroff which he wrote for the first film about Mir (The boy who plays on the Buddhas of Bamiyan (2004)). It was an honour to be part of this incredible project, please give it a watch, you wont regret it. UPDATE- This Documentary won the "Best Single Documentary" award at the BAFTA TV Awards!!! Congratulations everyone

Merry Christmas everybody! Its been a busy year, so much so that I've barely had time to update the website. This year has seen the Exhibition on Screen series go from strength to strength with Degas, Van Gogh and Japan, the incredible Leonardo and, coming soon, Lucien Freud and Frida Kahlo. Its such an honour to be involved in this series, if you missed them at the cinema you can buy the DVDs or watch online and there is another series of Great Art coming soon to ITV. Also this year saw the release of "Criminal Audition" by Sam Gridley which was a huge success at frightfest and is currently doing the rounds of festivals, we predict great things for 2020. It was a brilliant project to score and we look forward to the next one.  Wishing everyone all the very best for 2020.
