Our Planet – Netflix (2019) Perhaps one of the most important shows I’ve yet been involved with, Our Planet was a series of eight films that sought to celebrate the diversity of life on this planet whilst, for the first time in a show like this, discussing in detail the challenges the planet faces. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, each ...

When I first met the filmmakers and we started talking about this project a few years ago, it soon became apparent that they wanted to make a difference. Every sequence they were thinking of shooting needed to tell a story, as they wanted to bring to people’s attention the state of the planet in a way that has never been done before. It was a real ...
I wanted to write a score full of thematic ideas that were all entwined throughout. A lot of the themes are recurring, for example when we’re dealing with climate change or the damage that’s being done to the planet. But the music also has an uplifting quality – we never wanted this to feel like a depressing lecture! The orchestrais quite full and ...
It was great! At the start of the show there was mention of recording a song with an artist towards the end – and because Ellie is so involved with WWF she felt like a great fit. We talked about the project and showed her some of the footage, and I gave her bits of the score just to see if it conjured up any other ideas. My hope was that we could w...
I would say the sheer amount of music that’s required for a series like this was a challenge – it’s well over six hours of music, so we were pretty much working on a full feature film score every month for about eight months! The other big challenge was making sure that we got the emotional line right. It’s something that the filmmakers were always...
The very first time I heard David narrate over a bit of the music I’d written was one of those moments where you can’t quite believe what’s happening! At the premiere for Our Planet, he gave the most amazing speeches. He stood up and talked so movingly about everything that’s going on in the world, what he has seen during his lifetime and how we ca...
That things happen when they happen – and you have absolutely no control over it! In my 20s I spent so long working in every job in film music apart from writing, whether it was making people tea or just trying to make myself useful. You start to panic that it’s never going to happen for you – but then strange things happen at strange times. I reme...
