A symphony written in the style of music for action and adventure movies. Watching films of this genre is one of my favourite "down" time gigs.
Atlantis Rising
A dream-like musical journey into the imagination as the fabled 'lost continent' of Atlantis rises from the depths of the ocean, offering a tantalizing glimpse of this utopian land and the ghosts of its people, before fading from view and sinking once more back into legend.
Image of Africa
A brief soundscape in which we are on the high plains of southern africa as sunset approaches. The darkening sky becomes littered with stars, the Southern Cross shining brightly through this backdrop.
A musical portrait of the prairies of North America and a glimpse of the lives of people living there.
The scenario behind the music: The wide open sky of the prairies is pierced by headlights on a dark, deserted road, signalling a stranger coming to town who will change the lives of people living there. The 'action' switches between the suspense of the unknown car approaching and Saturday night get-togethers of the unsuspecting folks in town.
An homage to veterans around the world that depicts some of the emotions brought on by war: the feelings of adventure and camaraderie, the yearning for home and loved ones, the fear and devastation of battle and the remembrance of those comrades who never returned.
Music for a short animated movie by film-maker Zennor Alexander that portrays the circularity of life. This was Mike's entry for a contest sponsored by East West Sounds.
Music for a screenplay that portrays the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066 as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. This is a collage of themes to be used to support the drama.
