KING PUTT

The score uses synthwave and rock combined with a nod to elite-sports-doc style soundtracks to elevate the drama (and comedy) necessary to accompany one of the greatest sporting achievements of the 21st century.
A TALE OF TWO HOARDS

In Britain, ancient treasure is being stolen in the dead of night. Those that steal it are known as ‘Nighthawks.’ John is a Landowner. Shane has been branded a Nighthawk. This film chronicles the battle for the ownership of history.
The score is a tangle of folk percussion, cello, theremin and Carnyx (ancient Celtic warhorn) to represent the eclectic history of East Anglia and the ironic nature of the film. The final cue is an original arrangement of Jerusalem.
