Testimonials

“Working with Alex is always a pleasure and one of the parts of the directing process I consistently look forward to. He's created beautiful, interesting and original music for a number of projects we've teamed up on ranging from short films to commercials, elevating each of them with his sensitivity to varying requirements and his collaborative approach. His eclectic musical knowledge and range of styles means that whatever obscure reference I throw at him he'll always know where I'm coming from.” Peter Peake, BAFTA and OSCAR nominated Director
