110 piece Orchestral Recording Session at Radio Bulgaria:
On May 21st & 22nd, as part of my Masters course at Pulse College we recorded 3 minute cues of our original music. We were given the option to conduct, so this was my first experience conducting an ensemble of this size.
An absolutely unforgettable experience.
In late March we had a recording session in Windmill Lane, Studio One where we recorded a scene conducting to click.
As part of the assignment we had to compose the work based only on the timing notes that had been written by a classmate, without being able to watch the actual scene.
I was given a dream scene from Shutter Island. Here is my re-scoring:
Recording session at Windmill Lane, Studio 1- April 1st, 2016.
The task was to conduct to a streamer that had been inserted in to a scene of our choosing. The music needed to include 20th Century compositional techniques, written for a 25 piece string ensemble. I selected a scene from ‘A Beautiful Mind’.
Snippets from the rehearsal and a mixed final take from my recent studio conducting assessment for the Masters in Scoring for Film and Visual Media- Pulse College, Dublin.
This work was not composed for film, rather as a stand alone piece.
I’m very much looking forward to hearing my new trio performed by Ensemble Goldentree.

As part of my Masters degree we were set the goal of re-scoring a scene from the Irish film ‘Moving Target’.
The aim was to create the correct atmosphere for the scene. Here, our protagonist Ray is meeting with the bad guys to exchange a pack of beer (that contains detonators) for his girlfriend Alice who has been kidnapped.
