The Messenger
I composed and produced the title music for this new Audible series. From Audible: “When investigative journalist Shiv Malik was betrayed by a source he considered a friend, he spent almost fifteen years tracking down the truth about what happened. The Messenger is an extraordinary audio tale of friendship, lies, betrayal, terrorism, the destruction of a marriage, and the insidiousness of fake news long before it went viral. In the wake of the 7/7 London bombings, Shiv Malik began working for the BBC to discover how young South Asian men like him had turned into suicide bombers. That's when he met notorious Islamist spokesman Hassan Butt, who told Shiv that he'd repented and left al-Qaeda. Hassan wanted Shiv to write his biography, and Shiv thought he'd found the biggest story of his life—a story that would help to change the world for the better. Little did he know that Hassan Butt would almost destroy his life. Over the next three years, Shiv and Hassan became friends, until one day there was a knock on the door from police investigators and everything fell apart. In eight revealing episodes, featuring Shiv's own audio recordings of his conversations with Hassan, Shiv searches for where he can place his trust: in the reams of evidence, in the cops, in a terrorist who swears he's changed, or in a friend who has no one else to turn to?
Innermost
Music and sound design
From the Guardian: “The Guardian is today launching Innermost — a special six-part podcast series – hosted by Leah Green, which takes us inside the homes of Guardian listeners to ask about their lives, the small, funny or tragic, weird or wonderful moments they have recently faced.
Unlike traditional podcasts, Innermost features unique stories from Guardian listeners and the ambient sounds they record. The result is a series of unexpected and intimate vignettes where the listener is transported from one place to another in the way the guest defines.
Each episode of Innermost will take the audience to new corners of the globe. From a 30-year-old heroin addict in London, to a woman in India who only met her husband once prior to lockdown and a secret, escalating war between neighbours in North West England, over bird seed.”
