New tracks for a secret project

Here’s a couple of new tracks from a series of demo’s I’ve put together with Paul Noble for another secret project (this all sounds very covert, doesn’t it, its only so I don’t compromise projects in production).

I am working with Paul on more mainstream modern cinematic music, which is something I have been  wanting to develop for a while. Myself and Paul worked together on “Identity of the Soul”, which you can see on the Films page.

New track and EP on the way – Lost

Here’s a track  (its a demo really, I might add vocals) of a track I’ve done recently called “Lost”. It’s one of a batch of new tunes that I’m working on in my spare time  that I’m really  excited about. This spare time is going to be reduced considerably very soon after the birth of my second child, but its on its way, I promise.

New Broadway Project track – New film – More to come

It’s for a film being shot now. I wrote it based on what I read from the script.
Lovingly called it “In the Hole”. Might not end up in the film, but here you are anyway.

Broadway Project reunites with Richard Palmer

Hello,

For old school fans of my earlier albums here’s a rare collaboration with my old vocalist and mate Richard Palmer. I basically rinsed one of his lovely new songs and ended up with this. The vibe went straight back to 2003 but without the samples! It’s a slow burner. kind of Tindersticks meets Ennio Morricone (I wish).

More (new) vocal collaborations on the way.

Here’s a version without the Arabic voice over or FX, so you can hear a proper burst of the original track.Full ad is on my Music for Ads page.

New Ads Deichmann; Part 2

Here’s another new ad spot with music by Dan Berridge / Broadway Project. I also did the sound design on this one too. Again for German brand Deichmann and directed by Mehdi Norowzain.

And a longer version of the original track I composed for the ad. Bit of a light Flying Lotus vibe on this one.

Flickan (The Girl) OST Album is out

So, it has been out for a while, but this is a formal announcement.
You can buy the soundtrack to Fredrik Edfeldt’s truly lovely film Flickan on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc.

Here’s the trailer to the original film (in Swedish);

It was quite a conceptual one for me as the music was needed to convey a variety of tones and moods on what is a sensitive subject matter (the isolation of a child) without becoming maudlin or over sentimental. We went with Piano, some very intimate cellos and violins, and lots of vintage analogue synths.

“Flickan” received two special mentions at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.

And you can buy the album here;

New Site; No more Music-Pro-Gratis

Hi there.

Following a few problems with the last site, this new one is under development.

Sorry but the Music Pro-Gratis element bit the dust. It was something I was offering for the One Minute to Save the World competition entries, but I won’t have time to get it up and running again.
Apologies to those who were using it. You can still email me direct

cheers

Leaving nominated for prestigious BIFA awards

“Leaving”, a short film (featuring original music by Dan Berridge/Broadway Project), is one of five films nominated for the prestigious award for Best British Short at this year’s BIFA awards.

To be eligible for the Short Film category, the film must have already won an award at a festival, making the competition particularly strong. Kierston Wareing, the female lead in Leaving, has also received one of eight nominations for Andrea Arnold’s feature film Fish Tank for Best Supporting Actress.

Leaving has already enjoyed success at various festivals and competitions including 1st prize at TCM classic shorts competition in 2008, the Silver Dragon at Crakow Film Festival, Best Film from the South West at Encounters and the Fuji Award for Best Cinematography.
