A medley of music
from the Soundtrack
This is a showcase for my work, professional and otherwise! I mainly carry out Sound Design and write music for Audio Dramas, as well as composing for PC Game MODS, and of course, for pleasure! Under the 'Music' you will find music you can download and 'Sound' provides information on the Productions I have worked on, along with Samples.
Please be respectful and don't use the music without permission and feel free to contact me if you like what you hear.

Blimey, didn't relaise I hadn't updated since last year! I have of course been beavering away at various things, and Point of Entry has just been released - enjoy!
Also, since we last met, The Nameless MOD has release it's official soundtrack with high quality versions of some of the music, including a few of mine. It's worth getting, as the trakcs have been edited together where appropriate and have been given proper endings etc. There some really good music from others there too. Download it from this page.
I am currently very excited to be working on Cobwebs, which is the first of the three stories with Turlough, Nyssa and Tegan! They are all very good, and it's great to hear Tegan again. Hopefully there will be a trailer about soon.
Following that, I move on to work on my first ever Bernice Summerfield play; I nearly did one a few years back, but time constraints meant a shift in schedule. I have no idea what it's called or what it's about.
At some point, I really want to update the website with a new design, but don't hold your breath just yet!
That's all for now.
Steve.

So, since we last met, 'Paper Cuts', 'Kindness of Strangers' & 'Blood Will Tell' have all been released. And just when I thought it was safe to put the Daleks back in the shed, along comes 'Plague of the Daleks', the final story in the Stockbridge trilogy. Now completed and at the duplicators, it's due for release in December. Great fin to work on, what with Zombie's and Daleks!
I'm currently working on 'Point of Entry', one of the Lost Stories; about half way through reading it, and really enjoying it. Next few projects are already lined up also, but can't really say anything about those at the moment, but should be interesting.
I have FINALLY managed to update all of the releases I have worked on. So if you want to see all the Doctor Who plays I have worked, go here. There's also the additiona of the Stargate & Warhammer audios.

The man whose name adorns the headstock of the guitar I have devoted 20 years to has played his last riff. I had guitars that came and went, and then I had my 1978 Les Paul Standard, that came, and is still here. Featuring heavily in Enemy of the Daleks, she is still loved today. Innovator in the Solid Body Guitar, I couldn't have done it without him, I love my guitar, and it has inspired me all the way. There have been times when money was tight and I nearly sold the old girl, but am now glad that didn't happen!
RIP Les Paul
Edited to Add: I was inspired to a bit of self indulgence and recorded a Les Paul drenched piece of music. Check it out here.

"Enemy of the Daleks" seems to have gone down well, and there were some nice comments about the music, which are much appreciated! By the way, if you haven't seen already, the music player to the right of this page has an extract from the soundtrack.
Following the release of Enemy, I ploughed on with "Kindness of Strangers" which is now totally in the can and on it's way to the duplicators. Just had to put the finishing touches of the real Puddle Jumper sounds in, which sound great! You'll be able to pick it up very soon.
"Paper Cuts" is also complete, and now I've moved on to where it all started for me - Judge Dredd! You've gotta love him, especially Toby Longworth's rendition, which is spot on. I've just completed the dialogue edit for "Blood Will Tell" with a grin on my face, and am looking forward to adding those all familiar sounds of Mega-City One and dusting off the Law-giver. O
Judge Dredd is of course where I learnt my trade for Big Finish, way back starting with "War Planet". It is rather marvellous to be working on one again; it's been too long!
Finally, the moment (at least one person) has been waiting for! My contribution to the Nameless MOD soundtrack is available here to download at last. Just go to the TNM section on the right, download, and enjoy :)

So, "Enemy of the Daleks" is in the bag and due in June. It was a tough writing the music, but the results are excellent, and quite different from the norm!
I've also worked on another Warhammer title, this time a Warhammer 40,000 called "Heart of Rage" by the brilliant James Swallow. Very different to the last one, and very enjoyable to work on. By the way, check out the excellent cover.
More Stargate now with "Kindness of Strangers" featuring Paul McGillion as the wonderful Dr Carson Beckett. I'm about to read the script, so looking forward to seeing what it holds. I'm sure it will be top class, with Sharon gosling writing. It's not due until August, so you won't get to hear it for a while.
Finally, I'm then on to the September Doctor Who release "Paper Cuts", which breaks my run of Daleks!
On another front, the big new is the release The Nameless MOD! After 7 years it's finally hear. Sadly I have not found time to play it yet as I'm very busy. I'm looking forward to devoting a weekend end to it soon. Again, time has meant no music is available for you yet, but it will be coming. TNM are also going to be releasing a Soundtrack with a few of mine on it too - which may come first.
Steve.
