I am very pleased to announce that an hour long mix of my Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier video game music soundtrack will be uploaded to the games official YouTube channel, Thursday July 4th at 6pm. Apes Together Strong!

Great to be invited back to Norwich Games Festival, with tomorrows talk about my role training the next generation of composers and sound designers. With input from some of my recent graduates from The University of Hertfordshire now in full-time roles at Frontier Developments (Jurassic World Evolution) and Ubisoft (Anno 1800, Beyond Medusa’s Gate). If you’re in the area, come along! 31st May, 4pm in the Forum.

‘The Launch’, from ‘Pinnacle’, used as the music backing to build inspiring tension at the most critical moment of MasterChef Italia 2019 Final on Sky Uno, announcing Valeria as this years winner. A suitably epic moment for this track!  You can check out the official MasterChef Facebook video via this link.

‘Pitch Side’, from my sport inspired TV Production Album ‘The Beautiful Game‘, aired today as part of BBC News ‘Sportsday’ coverage.  

Currently in progress – a nine track album (with alternatives and stings) of beautiful, haunting fluid themes, composed to especially support emotionally charged storylines. Several of the tracks will feature Emma Harvey-Lawrence, who also performed on my video game soundtrack ‘Into Light’.

‘Pinnacle’ is now out! Thank you all for listening, and the amazing comments over on our Coltart | Warner YouTube channel.  Happy New Year!  Pinnacle’ will be bespoke arranged with alternative mixes, cues and stings for TV/ Film early 2019.  Check out the review from The Indiependent, “Talk about Epic”.

Nice to hear several of my piano based pieces from ‘In Slow E-Motion’ are having frequent airtime across Sat. 1 in Germany.  Sombre, atmospheric, beautifully sad themes, making them ideal for emotional based shows.  Documentary series ‘Auf Streife – Die Spezialisten’ (‘On Patrol – The Specialists’) and ‘Klinik am Südring – Krankenhaus-Serie, D 2018’ (‘Clinics – The Hospital 2018’), are two such examples where my music is regularly heard as part of their soundtracks.

‘In Slow E-Motion’ is part of Adrenalin Sounds, and Warner/ Chappell Production Music in America.

Based in the UK its always nice to hear about my production music being used on TV series worldwide. Great to hear my work is proving popular on travel show Échappées Belles on France5, most recently on shows Chamonix & Colombia.

It was great to recently be invited by The Imaginarium for an extended interview, running through my game audio background and processes on ‘Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier’.  Part one, which is around 45mins in length, was streamed live on Mixer on 15th October 2018, and is also available to watch on Youtube.  Part two will follow later this week too.
