SAI is a third person action game exploring Celtic folklore and deforestation. Set in a magical forest, players will discover an environment damaged and destroyed by onslaughts of machines. These metallic creatures wreck their way through the land to get to the core of its magic, the Heart Tree. Though its presence is now but a lost memory, the machines remain, determined to find this all powerful entity. As a Druid, protector of the natural world, you must explore this beautiful realm, harness the power that still lingers here, and uncover its dark past. Stop the machines. Protect the land. Save the forest.

As an eco-conscious Indie Games Development Studio, we made SAI because we want to make a difference. We want to reawaken the love and respect for nature we are all capable of. Therefore, we will be donating 80% of all revenue to conservation charities.

Suffolk folk duo Honey & The Bear have a new album ‘Journey Through The Roke’ out 2021 and after hearing a sneak peek of ‘The Swallow’ I had lots of ideas for a lockdown collaboration. Here is the final result. Loads of fun working a new orchestral and electronic arrangement around Lucy and Jon’s vocals and guitars.

'Fragile Planet' officially released April 29th 2020, soon to be heard across TV and advertising. Pensive, sparse piano arrangements with celestial female vocals (Emma Harvey Lawrence) & subtle strings to illustrate the fragility of life.

The music from this project received worldwide recognition as a winner in the 8Dio Stand Out Composing Contest. What the judges said, “Sometimes it is about getting down to the essence of music. Is there anything more soothing than a great sounding piano and delicate solo voice? Just absolutely drop dead gorgeous. The composition is such a balanced piece between virtual and live usage of instruments”.
