Vision Super

Music for Vision Super’s “Super good super” campaign.

TRUCE Films.

Open Swimmer

I am the songwriter, singer and maker of other sounds for the “band” Open Swimmer.

Along with an ever changing roster of friends and collaborators I have made two albums under that name. The latest is The Bird Flies Towards You. I would love you to have a listen and get in touch to tell me something you liked about it. Or just to say hi.

Vicks

Music for Vicks Easy Applicator. Initially going for a lo fi acoustic style but over time became a more magical and sparkling feel.

Production: TRUCE Films.

Bakers Delight

Music for a series of online videos and TVC’s for the Baker’s Delight Pink Bun campaign made by Glitch Media.

TAC x CRV

Music for TAC ad to encourage people to get home safe after country races. It was great for me to have some live string players come in for this one.

Viola and violin: Felicity Thyer

Agency: SDWM

Production: TRUCE FILMS

Dir.: Thomas Hyland

The Handyman Trailer

Music for the trailer for short film The Handyman, directed by Nicholas Clifford with Truce Films

ASIS

Music for a series of recruitment ads for the Australian intelligence agency, ASIS, with Cummins & Partners. Based on a classic espionage thriller style, ending on a light and relieving tone.

SwissMilk

Music, sound design and final mix for a series by Swiss production company, Tasty Pictures, profiling volleyball player Zoé Vergé-Dépré for the brand SwissMilk.

The Hunt

Original composition of music for the Discovery Chanel and Animal Planet documentary The Hunt: In Search of Australia’s Big Cats.

Monash Health

Creation of an electronica based bed track for a series of videos promoting the Monash Health department.

Inner

This music was made to accompany a large scale outdoor projection cast on the Geelong Town Hall in 2019.

Porter Davis

Agency: The Monkeys

I was asked to attach a unique tone to each abstract, floating object and for these disjointed sounds to eventually culminate in a satisfying resolution as we see that they make up the words “More thought built in”.

Movember

Agency: Cummins & Partners

For the beginning of this story I was asked to musically recreate the tone of a whimsical, slightly cheeky beer ad. The twist is that right near the end we come to see that this guy is suffering in silence and the music takes a more serious, thought provoking turn.

BPme - w. Risk Sound

I worked on this job with the beautiful people at Risk Sound. We were asked to create a futuristic vibe that felt inclusive and friendly. BPme makes life easy so we wanted to make it an easy feeling.

Kraft Singles

A three second sting for the titles of this ad. Was heaps of fun trying all sorts of ideas with “playground” ish instruments.

Transport NSW - w. Risk Sound

Another one with the legends at Risk Sound. This was a beautiful video to work on. The music was to draw the viewer in. Helping them understand the grief the whole community feels after the death of a young person.

CPA - w. Risk Sound

Another collab between myself and Risk Sound. There was a nice amount of back and forth ideas with this one. We were asked to accentuate the busyness and uncertainty of running a small business while supporting the “journey” element of growing that business through the years. Was a fun one.

Dairylea Slices

Agency: Cummins & Partners

I was asked to create an organic, “down on the farm” vibe while keeping it family friendly and not too Deliverance (as if that’s what I was thinking). Sadly I had to make this while on holidays and didn’t have a single real life instrument anywhere. Thought it worked out well.

Twist: Kraft Singles are now Dairylea Slices…. Or are they…. (see my kraft singles work two years later).

Monash Uni

Production: Glitch Media

This relatively long online promo video was sent to me with a very specific brief as far as edits and vibe goes. It was cool to find ways to embellish the driving, percussive element each time it comes in. A fun job.

Earth After Dark

Magic Woods

I was approached to score this beautiful short film by Palate Family Farm. Made as part of a competition for The International Wood Culture Society. Filmed in The Redwoods, Great Otway National Park, Victoria, Australia.

Able in the Presence of Rocks

Federation Bells

The work “Ghost” was written for the Federation Bells at Birrarung Marr, Melbourne in 2014 and has continued to be played weekly.

Genius

An installation/performance work that was commissioned for the Festival Of Live Art. A collaboration between director Amelia Ducker and St. Martin’s Youth Art Centre , I was delighted to create an original score and sound design for this beautiful experiential artwork.

St. Martin’s describe it as:

“Genius invites you into a series of immersive encounters with six unique thinkers, where each Genius will present their perspective on the topic of their expertise.

this event is a unique opportunity to see life through an alternative lens – a surprising, eclectic walk through the inner- workings of a group of exceptional minds.”
