Scoring for ‘The Penny’ has been going well and is actually nearing the end. It has been an incredible experience working with Nathan Webster and the crew at Filmweavers adding a musical signature to the feature film. Crafting the soundscape of the score was an absolute delight as I love this type of score. It combines progressive elements of a modern score together with a definite orchestral touch.

Filmweavers is currently readying the release of the official website for the movie, which will include a new trailer containing themes from the film score.

While working through the scoring project, it became apparent early on that relying on a traditional orchestral sound was not enough to give the film a unique musical signature. This meant that a number of sound libraries had to be utilized to push the score beyond the limits of a ‘standard’ score. I am pleased with the outcome and can’t wait watching the film in its completed form.
