An occasional blog by a jobbing composer, reflecting on both completed and ongoing projects.
Audible’s 20,000 Leagues under the Sea is now available:
Made entirely during lockdown, I was honoured to be commissioned as the composer for this exciting adventure.
Today I finished my score for Audible’s new original audio drama of 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, produced by Barnaby Eaton-Jones with full sound design by Joseph Fox. This was commissioned at the start of lockdown and required all of the actors to record their parts in isolation to one another, at home, using different equipment! The drama is divided into 5 exciting episodes. I have scored to the audio (rather than writing a suite of library tracks to be edited during production). The score has 161 different musical cues, totalling 141 minutes! Episodes 2-4 have all been scored during the last month. An intense schedule to say the least.
