Framerate at SXSW

Continuing a collaboration with ScanLABS … I scored and sound designed FRAMERATE.

“FRAMERATE is a contemplative artwork, a pioneering research tool and a shared immersive experience. The work invites audiences to bear witness to landscapes in flux. We observe alterations caused by human-centred industry and the immense forces of nature; destruction, extraction, habitation, construction, harvests, growth, and erosion.

We were honoured to show early visuals from FRAMERATE at the UN Climate Conference COP26 in Glasgow. A Special Preview of the work is being exhibited within the prestigious Art Program at SXSW 2022.”

Theme tune I composed the end theme to this drama from Goldhawk Productions.

From the BBC’s website: “When a young British tennis pro, Joleen Kenzie (Jessica Barden), is diagnosed with a rare terminal illness, she has herself cryogenically frozen at an experimental lab in Seattle, in the hope that one day – perhaps hundreds of years into the future - there will be a cure and she can be revived. 

“She wakes up to a world divided... and Joleen is now captive.

“From the creators of The Cipher and Passenger List, a chilling new medical thriller inspired by true events starring Jessica Barden.”

Bad Women: The Ripper Retold

Music composition, sound design and mix

From Pushkin … “It’s a cold case like no other. In the fall of 1888, five women were brutally murdered in the slums of London. The attacks were so violent that the killer earned a nickname — Jack the Ripper.

“But everything you think you know about Jack and those murdered women is wrong.

“Historian Hallie Rubenhold uncovers new facts about the five victims - revealing the appalling treatment they faced as women in the 1880s, and completely overturning the accepted Ripper story.”

Cautionary Tales S2

That’s another fine mess you got me in to. More Cautionary Tales, allowing you to smugly learn lessons from the comfort of your headphones while other people lurch from disaster to catastrophe.

“We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable life lessons, but these cautionary tales are for the education of the grown-ups — and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “Messy” and “The Undercover Economist”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, daring heists and hilarious fiascos. They’ll delight you and scare you, but also make you wiser.”
