Based primarily on ‘old school’ traditional values yet utilising up-to-date production methods, I provide an eclectic mix of comfortingly familiar yet newly composed music to accompany and enhance just about anything! Whether it is a simple jingle for your radio show, a piece of music for your social media post, a tune for a song you wrote, or a larger production for an animation series or a theatre production, I can provide you with what you need!
[01 ] Children’s Theme Tunes
Do you have a children’s project for which you need a catchy tune? Or perhaps you need an ‘earworm’ for a social media campaign! Maybe you have a new children’s book you are looking to promote and need accompanying music. Whatever your needs – I can help!
[02] Theatre productions
I can work closely with you to compose music for all aspects of your production, including any songs, intros and outros, background music, or other musical requirements to enhance the show.
[03] Animation & Film
Creating memorable and annoyingly catchy tunes that stick with people long after the show ends is our forté! I can provide everything from a selection of background and incidental music to a detailed and complex music score.
[04] Music & Tunes
I can compose tunes to complement songs written by anyone in a wide variety of styles. And if you have something different, give me a try – I simply love a challenge!
Get to Know Me
Long ago, in a music classroom far away (well, in Hull, actually!), a 13-year-old boy surprised his music teacher by suggesting that he would like to learn to play the bass guitar. Thus, an extensively varied and colourful music career was born, which is still thriving today! Through decades of live performance as a musician and vocalist, professional DJ, radio presenter, songwriter, recording artist, and, more recently, a composer and recording engineer, this career has provided me with a unique insight and wealth of experience I can apply to just about any project or commission.
Moving on several decades… Sonorous Hue has been born. I now find myself deeply involved in writing tunes and composing more intricate music utilising many and varied instrumentation, surprising myself at some of the ‘earworms’ I come up with, as well as the more serious and classical-inspired compositions that my mind dreams up. I am not one of the modern composers using AI and other pre-made ‘patches’ to build a tune. Everything I produce is imagined, played, developed and produced by me. I do not use patches or create tunes using anything pre-made. I would rather build a drum beat that suits the music I write instead of using one of the samples or loops provided in the DAW I use. Unintentionally, a lot of my creations have an ‘old school’ feel, with fleeting sensations of the warmth and familiarity of the traditional tunes that were used many moons ago but sprinkled with a newness and freshness that adds to their appeal.
