Immediate – both sides

Commercial: Elsepage – Statue Love

Dec 11, 2010:

Combined Mind commissioned us to compose an original soundtrack to this promo for Elsepage – a sweet score for piano, strings and french horn. Super fast turnaround as we only had about a day to spare, but thankfully director Ross Webb of Mindway Media gave a great brief which made it lots easier.

Stuart Nicholas White (of David Morrissey’s Don’t Worry About Me) was Director of Photography, and James Abadi (The Story of ****) produced.

Here’s the video:

And here’s the music:

Film: Habibti score, starring Hiam Abbass & Jimmy Akingbola

Jun 19, 2010:

We’ve composed an original soundtrack for Nour Wazzi’s UK Film Council-backed short film Habibti, which stars Hiam Abbass (The Visitor, I Am Slave), Yasmine Al Massri (Caramel, Miral) and Jimmy Akingbola (Rev., Holby City).

Working closely with Nour, we pared the sonic palette down to a spare 5-piece ensemble, fusing Middle Eastern and Western elements to support the unfolding narrative and brilliant performances.

Here’s the full original soundtrack, plus a cheeky bonus unused cue! ’Mama’ is a key cue, so check that first if you’re in a hurry…
