I'm so happy to announce that the Reputation Score is out now!! Available on all streaming and download services now 🥳 swipe for a preview 👀🎵🎧 This film was a delight to score, with the main focus keeping it grounded and gritty - in line with the characters and their stories. I hope this score album hits as hard as the film itself! #filmscore #music #musician #reputation #indiefilm @ukfilmmusiclimited @factorynoir @miraclemedia_uk
Midnight Taxi was the first ever feature film I scored, and was so unbelievably lucky that my totally cold-call email got through and caught the attention of the directors Samantha and Bertie Spiers - @littlenipperproductions. They liked my work on my Dark Future and other solo releases enough to schedule a call and see if my vision for the film aligned with theirs, and it did! 🥳 This thriller was so much fun to work on and gave me the grand opportunity to explore soundscapes blending acoustic and electronic instruments; everything from bowed marimba (a personal fave!) to plucky synths, distorted guitars to subtle strings. The score, which incidentally is 1 year old today, is available to stream on all good streaming and download services, and Midnight Taxi is available on all good VOD services! 🎬🎵 #music #composer #filmscore #film

REPUTATION in out now! Available on Video on Demand, including @appletv & @amazonprime. Scoring this film was fantastic, such a dark, gritty film, with some amazing acting performances all round. A huge thank you to Martin Law at @factorynoir for bringing me on board for this! A recent review in @guardian called it "A brawling portrait of British male rage..." And @gazettely said it was "Kitchen-knife realism at its finest". SO happy to finally announce that it's out now! 🥳🎬 Starring: @jamesnelsonjoyce, @kyle_rowe, @oliviafrancesbrown (and many others!)

This clip is taken from an upcoming short film I scored, called 'Cu Nhay - The Jump'. Inspired by an event in the writer and director, Leo Kei Angelos' childhood... A literal leap of faith that defined the trajectory of his art & future career. Coming soon. The score focuses on 80s-inspired Synthwave and Retrowave, including synths from the time period such as the CS-80, DX7, and LinnDrum, along with analogue textures and sound samples from old VHS cassette players, tape player sounds, etc. Writer & Director: @leokeiangelos Producer: Ta Thanh Hai / 5AM Productions Co-producer: @davidcheungofficial Composer: @jakeb_sharp #composer #shortfilm #80s
A clip taken from IMPLOSION, an upcoming short film I feel very honoured to have scored. Dark, full of tension, and very powerful. The blend of orchestral score, heavy rock guitars, and pounding electronic drums and percussion directly correlates with the emotional depth of the film, tackling huge subjects including mental health. @tobysebastian1 played a stunning lead role! 'The film portrays a stream of consciousness into the abyss of the main characters psyche, which is torn between two opposing aspects; one that is fighting to keep hope about the future alive, and the other that is overcome with sadness and tormented by demons of the past.' Release: TBC Score: @jakeb_sharp Director & Writer: @elisa_audrey_dinkel Producer: @anastasia_nedeljkovic Development Company: @damavandpictures
