CUT TO:

INT. MUSIC STUDIO - DAY

Paul sits at his desk, twiddling the knobs of his synthesiser as weird, distorted noises emanate from the dusty speakers...

I’ve been writing electronic music for a fair while now, but I’ve put it on hold to concentrate on writing. However, here’s five of my best tunes. Go to my Soundcloud page for more.

This track is from a film called Drawn which I scored a while ago. It features some pencil drawing sounds as a rhythmic element. To see the video that goes with it, go here.

And this was how I got the job scoring Drawn. The crew heard this in the car on the way up to Manchester to shoot the start of the film (I was sound recordist), and offered me the job. Not that it was paid or anything. This tune is made entirely from broadcast tone (a 1kHz sine wave) from my old SQN mixer.

One of my best breakbeat tunes. This is a remix of the first track from an album I was doing based on the Margaret Atwood novel, Oryx and Crake. Alas, it is yet to be completed.

Another breakbeat tune, featuring ‘vocals’ by William S. Burroughs.

Written for a Roland SH-101 quartet to commemorate an anniversary of Sputnik's first space flight. Should be playable live by 4 SH-101's. I logged the changes I made to the parameters, but haven't put them into the proper electronic classical scoring mode (see my Synthesizer Orchestra essay for details about this).
