It’s the last few days of voting for this year’s World Soundtrack Awards. If any of you are voting members and haven’t cast your votes yet then I would be very grateful if you might consider my work on BODIES and THE VEIL in the category of “Television Composer of the Year”. Thanks!

RIP Gene Hackman. Possibly my favourite actor

Spent some time yesterday with a true musical legend, the incredible Evan Parker

The Firm - great film. One of the very best 90s thrillers. Tom Cruise in his prime, great Gene Hackman performance. First and best of the John Grisham adaptations. Also, stunningly good piano-only score by Dave Grusin.
