I'm very pleased to have finished scoring the Lost in Castles mini-documentary on Dyserth Castle.
It will be released ahead of the feature-length documentary on Rhuddlan Castle and will be available online.
Rhuddlan Castle: Gateway to Wales
Rhuddlan Castle: Gateway to Wales is the latest Lost in Castles feature-documentary. The score is just under 70 minutes long. It follows on from the 45 minute score for Middleham Castle, 75 minute score for Sandal Castle and 90 minutes for Conwy Castle. The score for Rhuddlan will soon be available to buy / download. As with the previous films, it is a rich and melodic orchestral score. Before the DVD of Rhuddlan Castle is available, I will have the pleasure to score a short extra feature on Dyserth Castle, to appear on the same DVD. Here is a sneak preview of the Dyserth Castle reconstruction by Lost in Castles:

English pottery company RepeatRepeat had previously commissioned a score for this video and were not completely satisfied with the end result. In such a case, as a replacement composer, it is vital to take onboard what a client requires because trust and expectation are fragile. This is the finished and accepted video for this lovely pottery collection.

After completion of Beauty and Joy: The Christian Nature of Music, my compositional style started to develop. Instead of wondering what music is and how my new compositions reveal something about me, I focused on music as a proclamation of worth. This considerably changed my approach to composition from a vague, searching for answers towards a statement of ideas with confidence. This piece was the first step on that road.
