Her voice is featured on both The Secret World and Dreamfall Chapters soundtracks, and will also be playing a major part in the Draugen soundtrack.Īnd then there’s my daughter, who has been blessed with a voice that melts the cockles of my heart (biased again, you say?). Suffice to say, I was blown away for a second time when our paths eventually crossed (okay, sorry, enough of that!). I actually heard and fell in love with Ingvild’s voice before even meeting her, and was completely blown away after hearing her dulcet tones coming out of the speakers. The real benefit of being surrounded by such gifted musicians, however, is that I get to poach their incredible talents as often as possible! I’m lucky enough to be married to one of the greatest singers on the planet (biased you say? Nonsense, it’s a completely objective opinion!). Maybe that’s why I feel the need to take a rest from writing dramatic game scores and blast out some Orbital or Jon Hopkins at 100db on regular intervals. I remember roaming the halls of BBC Maida Vale Studios where the Radiophonic Workshop was located, the heartbeat of so much experimental electronic music in the UK at the time. Sometimes I felt music was as much a part of life as the air we breathed.

Both my parents were members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the 70s, and I would often be left to my own devices running around backstage whilst they were rehearsing in such esteemed venues as the Royal Albert and Royal Festival Halls. I guess it was a forgone conclusion really that I would end up doing what i do for a living. I’ve always thought myself incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such gifted musicians.
