Here’s a piece I wrote for XLR8R on making music for picture.
Maybe it will have some useful things in it.

New Album: Other World Music Vol.II
The second volume of my Other World Music series, under my own name, has been released.
Again, it draws its influences from various musical traditions and forms and incorporates some of the research of my NHS music fellowship this year.
I am just pressing up tapes and releasing them myself although they will also be in shops such as Boomkat sometime around the middle of December.
It is limited to a run of 111.
You can buy it from my website here:

New Album: Other World Music Vol.1
For the last few years I have been working increasingly away from the dancefloor under my own name, and soaking up more varied influences. Other World Music will be a series of albums reflecting my explorations in these new fields, part electronic, part acoustic, and exploring facets of sound and music such as psycho-acoustics, modal forms and various other approaches to modern composition.
Other World Music Vol.1 is the first release on my new label of the same name, and represents a bit of a crossing point in some ways, as is nearly always the way when setting a new course.
The release is digital and cassette, and can be bought from my Bandcamp, although the digital release on its own can be bought from all the usual places. The cassette comes with a free download version and is housed in a nice handmade lino-print sleeve with a tracklist card. If you would like it signed, just ask at checkout on Bandcamp. It is limited at 100 copies.
New Film + Composition Page
Have added a new page for film, TV and composition work, alongside all the updates for the more purely electronic side of things.
