In 2019 myself and Owen Pratt were asked to create a musical score, soundtracking together genres that have shaped and moulded the queer and gay scenes through the years - such as Disco, Club, House, High NRG, Techno and Pop. The artists (Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings) screened a video work, accompanied by our live performance of the original score. First, as part of ARTNIGHT2019 held in Walthamstow Town Square on 22/06/19, and then recommissioned for a second to performance at Image Behaviour at the ICA 2019 at ICA London on 14/11/19.
The shows featured live vocals from Jesse Hultberg (founding member of 1980’s New York based group 3 Teens Kill 4), dancer Ted Rogers and musician & drummer Severin Black.

The commission was both a celebration and a critique of contemporary Pride culture, exploring the tension between queer subcultures and the gay mainstream.

GABY SAHHAR

Truth & Kinship, 2020

A soundtrack and score I composed and recorded for ‘Truth and Kinship’, a film by artist, filmmaker, and painter - Gaby Sahhar.
It follows three young people in their search for social mobility, questioning how cities adapt to serve capitalist male identities to the detriment of others.

It was featured in the 2020 Russian Bienale, and was screened as part of the BFI London Film Festival 2020.

I experimented and explored lots of new sounds and synths for this soundtrack - Think Hans Zimmer's Blade Runner evolving into Timpani and Trombone driven Orchestral Dance, Techno, and Trance music.

Commissioned by Gaby Sahhar, 2020.
