Music composition, sound design and mix. From the Guardian: “The Guardian’s Chris Michael explores incredible stories from around the world about when music shook history. Each episode focuses on a turning point in a city’s story, as told through a song that sparked a moment – and reveals the deeper social and political issues that shaped these pivotal events”
Limbo: a virtual experience of waiting for asylum
I've been wrapping my head around sound for virtual reality. Or should that be wrapping the sound for virtual reality around my head? It was good to work in an area that feels as if it is still discovering itself, even if at times if felt like the early days of plumbing: pipe the sound from one place to another, tape the ends together, press play and see if it works – or leaks all over the place. End of clumsy metaphor. This first piece is with the Guardian. I wrote some of the music and looked after the postproduction, sound design and 360 mix.
Knock on wood
From his office to the lift, Alan Rusbridger is banged out of the Guardian on Friday 29 May 2015
Oh, before you go, do you mind saving the planet?
I've been writing music and providing sound for the videos and podcasts that are part of Alan Rusbridger's big climate push – his swansong project before stepping down as editor in chief. Lots of banging metal, wobbling drones – and people saying "Keep it in the ground" before the house burns down. Click the picture to go to the first of the videos – but updates on the project in general can be seen and heard here.
What's troubling you?
Some more sound design and simple music for a series of Guardian animations hosted by Philippa Perry, where people leave messages on an answerphone explaining what's worrying them, and Philippa responds. Click on the image to go through to the Guardian page for Philippa Perry.
