BBC’s “The Making of Planet Earth”
Have just had a meeting with Sally Cryer at the BBC N.H.U. and I’m going to start working on a 2 hour documentary produced by BBC Earth for BBC America. Can’t wait to get started on it, the footage looks amazing!!
BBC – The Making of Planet Earth – 2012
Snow Leopard – This animal is incredibly rare and elusive. It took the BBC’s film crews over 7 years to finally capture a 1½ minute sequence and this clip accompanies them recounting this.
Universal Music
Following a meeting at Universal Headquarters in Fulham with some lovely people I’ve started working on some music for their extensive music library.
Granada / Nat Geo – Built for the Kill – 2004
This sequence began with a snowshoe hare running in slow motion on pristine white snow. It was beautiful, delicate, and slightly entrancing. Bit by bit a puma starts coming into shot and by the time the beat kicks in, the action switches to real time and becomes incredibly claustrophobic. One of my favourite tracks.
KPM / Channel 4 – Paris Connection
I wanted to encapsulate Paris in this track, something which is pretty much impossible to do with a city that has so many facets, but I picked the more meditative side of Paris and added some more recent happenings and this was the result. It’s a nighttime track, as you’d imagine.
Collaboration
I’ve started working on a project for NHNZ’s China office with a good old mate, Kyle Murdoch. We’re just getting together a programme specifically for Discovery Asia about the Chinese Space program which is pretty interesting. Lotsof bleeps, swooshes and analog arpeggios..awesome!
BBC Worldwide – Signs of the Zodiac
Earth Kids – This piece was for a 12 part series on the Zodiac for BBC Worldwide. They talked about each sign of the zodiac in detail but also had experiments to show similarities and differences between the different elemental signs. The Earth kids were more playful, less prone to contemplation than say, the Water Kids, and I think this comes across in the music.
