Professional Music Composition

1984

Where Do You Run To Now? Haircut 100
A ballad I titled and wrote some time before for which Marc Fox wrote lyrics. It appeared on the second Haircut 100 album Paint And Paint.

1985

Music for promotional audiovisual show Timkin Ball Bearings
I bumped into an old friend Steve Arnold who had an audiovisual company. We had some problems with formats but eventually produced music on 1/2 inch tape. Driving, commercial, library stuff.
Music and voice for robot McAndroid
McAndroid was partly run by oldest friend Tim Barron's brother. They used sculpture and compressed air to create robots for museums and shows, and myself and Richard Mazda put together the voice and music.

1986

Music for theatre Theatre In Conservation
Tim Barron was doing this show above a pub in Brixton about the environment, and did the instrumental music.

1988

Music for fashion show Michiko
Through Tim Blake - a friend met through Grae who tragically died on the Marchioness - did music for influential fashion designer Michiko. Quite coincidentally, Richard Mazda also did DJ work for them.

1990

Earth Calling Basingstoke Uden Associates
Again through Tim Blake met Julia Warren (who coincidentally was the sister of Shelley who worked at Jazz Services at the time), did music for a documentary about stargazers in Basiongstoke broadcast on Channel 4.
Sport 90 Design Museum
Through Julia Warren, background music for exhibition plus two main themes of Olympics and Fashion. Music used extensive library and custom made sports samples as well as sampled instruments, anthems and chanting.
Video music for far east fashion tour Michiko
Michiko went on the road and wanted a video. With Julia Warren and Andy Blake (Tim's brother), put together music and images for the shows.
