I am an Irish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist of bespoke music for use in TV, Film. Games & Advertising, based in Dublin. ​In the 20+ years I have been producing and composing music, I have continued to develop the art of fusing the organic with the power of the synthetic. By combining guitar, clarinet, orchestral and choral arrangements with digital / analogue synthesis and modern sampling techniques, I can sculpt a unique soundscape and sonic palette with which to trigger emotion and imagination. My portfolio includes music for Disney Interactive, Netflix, PBS, BBC, Virgin Media, RTE and Jameson International. Most recently, I composed and produced a closing film credit sequence with Sinead O’Connor. I have recently worked on the critically acclaimed feature film Here Are The Young Men starring Anya Taylor Joy and documentary series The UnTeachables and John Connor Acting Academy.. In 2019 he performed his work in Carnegie Hall with The Choral Scholars of UCD. ​I like to work closely and collaboratively with visual creatives and story tellers to provide exclusive quality music that stirs the imagination and ultimately enhances the project. Each note produced, breathes energy, space and dynamics. Every frequency and tone is carefully sculpted so that perfection is not only achieved at the end, it's there from the beginning. I am a founding member of The Screen Composers Guild of Ireland, where I currently sit on the board. I am also a represented composer at Contemporary Music Centre.
