Cinematic Songs from Worlds Worth Getting Lost In.

Melodies written at the piano and built into fully arranged worlds - From a beautiful, dangerous sky to the people closest to me, to the roar of a summer coaster. Real life and imagined worlds, turned into sound.

The Runaway Mine Train

My love letter to theme parks and a lifelong soft spot for Alton Towers - Golden-hour adrenaline, the rattle of the track and the joy of being a kid again. It is out now, and Alton Towers themselves have even had it playing in the office.

The Method

It Starts with a Melody in My Head.

I cannot read music, but I play by ear - I hear fully formed songs all the time, and I have done for as long as I can remember. I find them at the piano: the melody first, then the chords underneath it, until the thing in my head is in my hands.

From there I arrange it - The style, the instruments, the tempo, the way it should feel - And use AI as a studio tool to realise it, with me as the one conducting every decision. Composer first; technology second.
