Introduce Yourself : I write original music by Amy Balcomb

Hi everyone

I'm sure some of you have seen my posts in here, but for those who haven't, I thought I really must join in this Introduce Myself challenge!

I'm a UK based composer writing bespoke music for any media format that needs music essentially. I love above all else helping to flesh out the emotional content of a scene and helping to bring to life a director's vision.

I've just completed scoring the music for 'The Rideshare Killer', the latest mystery/thriller/horror feature film from Ashley Meyers & Tony Greenburg, and I'm keen now to discuss future projects with people, whether it be shorts, features, documentaries, or anything in-between.

My writing is diverse - I won't lie; I love the emotional, tense, cinematic music above all else, but I'm just happiest writing music, so if you'd like to get me involved in something, I can work ideas up from scripts as easily as rushes or final cuts.

Here is the music I wrote for a three-minute animation called Library of Dreams. This was unusual in so much as the director wanted an orchestral soundtrack but one that wasn't too full on, given that the animation was set inside an old library. My usual approach tends to be more hybrid where I incorporate electronic sounds alongside the traditional classical elements. But as ever, I'm driven by those I work with and for, and my priority is always to tell your story in music.
