Parallel Worlds single release

Very excited to announce the release of Parallel Worlds today… a collaboration between myself and @duotonecellist that forms the opening track from the Black Mass EP released 10th June.

‘Parallel Worlds’ is all about the ‘hidden worlds’ that exist just out of sight, we see something in our peripheral vision, turn to see and it disappears…

I Care A Lot soundtrack gets an ASCAP Award


Excited to have received this from ASCAP for my score to 'I Care A Lot' directed by the very talented J Blakeson. Thanks to everyone involved bringing this gem of a film to life during tricky times!

This film fuelled my enthusiasm of scoring to the script rather than just picture - watching the music becoming absorbed in to the editing process and shaping the cut from the start. I don't always get this opportunity - but when I do I think it makes a difference…

Deceit

This dark drama examines the controversial honeytrap at the centre of one Britain’s most high profile and controversial criminal cases surrounding the Rachel Nickel murder - it stars Niamh Algar (Calm With Horses), Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes) and Luke Treadaway (Attack The Block) - directed by Niall MacCormick

The Lost Girls

Staring Vanessa Redgrave, Iain Glenn, Joely Richardson and Louis Partridge - this alternative take on the Peter Pan story follows four generations of the Darling family as they struggle to come to terms with their encounters with Peter in Neverland. Based on the best selling novel by Laurie Fox, directed by Livia de Paolis

I Care A Lot premieres at TIFF 2020

I Care A Lot was released at Toronto Film Festival this weekend to high praise - J Blakeson’s darkly humorous yet brutal satirical take on the American Dream seems to have resonated with how people are seeing the world at the moment.

Marc and J worked closely on the score that, like the overarching theme of the film, built upon the concept of greed and how far people are willing to go to achieve their desired outcome - whatever the cost.

The largely synth-led score tries to juxtapose this by creating a veneer of playful silkier sounds with a swagger across the first half of the film - hiding more uncomfortable and imperfect sounds beneath this layer of familiarity. As the story unfolds and the veneer gets scratched away these less predictable sounds begin to creep through, mirroring the wicked reality of the situation, redirecting the spotlight on to this unpleasant characteristic of the human condition.

For Marc it was a great excuse to hide himself away in his studio with an array of noise making machinery and have fun. Inspired by the likes of Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, CAN, Rival Consoles and Orbital - the score morphs in tone through the film with it’s off-kilter arpeggio-laden sardonic playfulness; into an atmospheric and at times aggressive textural assault.

Running Up That Hill released 18th January

It’s a slightly daunting task to be asked to cover one of your favourite tracks of all time, but Marc teamed up with long term collaborators Candy Says to produce this dark electro version of Kate Bush’s classic track from Hounds Of Love. Created to fit in to the tone of Marc’s score, It was given it’s blessing by Kate herself, and now it’s out for the world to enjoy on Bandcamp and streaming services.
