Music & Work
Here is a selection of stuff The Gray has either worked on
recently or is actually working on right now.
You will be able to watch all of the work here soon...
LFC TV
The Gray was commisioned to write 3 peices of music
to be used on title sequences for the new LFC TV
Channel. The brief was to create a news feel piece
for use on the daily news show, a magazine show peice
and a dramatic battle piece which was to be used
before every match shown.
Second Guest
Dark drama/murder mystery directed by Dan Turner and staring Claire Goose.
The music for this film is more of a contempory cinema
score with a heavy use of strings for the main reveal.
The opening music is more sound design with some
contrabass to add a dark feel. There is also some
piano music used during the flat scenes which is a re-recoding of a Bach
piece.
Safer Steps
Road safety video for Key Stage 1 & foundation year children.
The video features the voice of Rick Mayall and stars Togo & Nogo.
As the video is aimed at very young children the
music has a clear/strong rythm
and hopefully a catchy tune that the kids will remember.
It was great
to work on a project that featured Rick although
he recorded his voice over ISDN so The Gray never
got to meet him.
Connecting
Short film set on an over-crowded bus in
rush-hour is no-one's idea of fun, but that's just
the beginning of Gaz's problems. With phone abuse
at a high, he finds it increasingly difficult to
keep it together. But it shouldn't be too long. If
he can just hold on a little longer... Too late!
Connecting was The Gray's first colaboration with Dan
& Damyan Filmworks
Caravan
This is The Gray's first EP which a mish mash of
cinematic rambles mixed with any electronic sounds
that he could find and liked. The Gray is heavily
infuenced by film music and he thinks that this shows
through on this EP. One of the songs, "Sleep Facing East" is
available on Kipper Records - Catch of the Day 2
from their website or from I-Tunes and CDBaby.
Kipper records – Sleep Facing East
Released on Kipper Records - Catch of the Day 2.
The Gray's first commercial release and has already
received excellent reviews. He is very grateful to
Kipper for including him on their Catch of the Day
series and for all of the incouragement & advice
that the guys there have given him. Sleep Facing
East is available on Catch of the Day 2 which you can
buy from the Kipper website or from I-Tunes & CDBaby.
Editz Design & Post Production - Showreel music
The Gray was asked to write music to accompany Editz's
showreel, sounds simple, but the dificulty was that
the reel had already been cut meaning the music he
had to write not only had to be at the same tempo
as the original but it also had to match the visual
cues.
The final piece of music is ok but he feels that it is
a little slow for his liking.
Coral Casino
4 x Stings for the different areas of the campaign.
The brief was to create music that reflected the
graphics, The Gray felt that a big band style but
mixed up with break beats would be perfect for this
and the final result he feels is good.
