Hi 👋 I’m a composer, musician, and sound designer known for my immersive cinematic scores and deep soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from dark ambient, cinematic orchestral music, and ambient synthesiser compositions, my work is designed to take listeners on a unique journey in the mind.
With a focus on atmospheric sound design, my music spans film, gaming, live performances, and my growing catalogue on this channel. My latest project, Sanctuary, blends haunting melodies with darkness and tension, often breaking into moments of blissful light, reflection, and peace.
“It's a trip... and it’s intentional.”
I aim to upload every two weeks on a weekend at 7pm UK time.
In the 1980's, my dream was set... hearing film scores by James Horner, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Vangelis & other modern film composers.
It is my childhood dream to make music for Film, TV & Games!
If you’d like to help fuel the journey, you can support me on Ko-Fi ☕❤️

Hi 👋 If you are or aren’t enjoying my recent period of relaxing Piano and Organ music, don’t worry…
These performances will continue as it’s part of my soul…. HOWEVER…
I can feel the pull toward the darkness again… and as such, a new dark ambient piece will be on its way soon!
Try not to have too many nightmares in the meantime people! 😉😱

Last night’s film screening of That One Man (about Andy’s Man Club), went really well and thankfully, my score that I made for it was very well received too!
Ace! ❤️ onwards and upwards…
Me and Lee Barnes the director and writer have agreed to keep working together on the coming films that he is going to make… so that’s made me a very happy Rick… and a stepping stone closer to scoring for film, games etc for a career! 🙏🏻💎💯
God it was satisfying to see my name in the score credit at the ending 🤣
I couldn’t take any pictures of the footage at this stage.
Anyway people, that’s again for all of your envoy and support… from the beginning and also over the last 12 months!! X
