Great to be able to announce that I have been invited to speak from a composers perspective at FOCUS – The Meeting Place for International Production event this December. Hosted at the Business Design Centre in Islington, I will be kickstarting the industry speaker presentations alongside the brilliant Gina Jackson.

Steven Coltart will discuss composing and implementing emotionally charged music for video games, with a focus on his cinematic ‘Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier’ soundtrack using Unreal Engine, and will also showcase current project ‘Just Breathe’. Supported by the UK Games Fund, ‘Just Breathe’ follows lead character Loki as he learns to navigate his anxiety and emotions through a gameplay based on mindfulness.

A very early playable demo build of video game ‘Just Breathe’ can be played at this years EGX, the UK’s Biggest Gaming Event. Running 17-20 October, at London’s ExCeL Center, https://www.egx.net/egx

The demo features my original soundtrack, and I am looking forward to working with developer Engine House Studio on the next stages of production.

It’s October PRS royalty day! As always it brings surprises, along with continued sync across Reality TV & Japanese Anime. My unexpected pick this time round is my piano production album ‘In Slow Emotion’ used as additional music for Netflix Original ‘When Heroes Fly’, which won Best Series at the 2018 Canneseries festival. Based on the novel by Amir Gutfreund.

My music is used for TV soundtrack coverage around the world. From Grammy Awards, FIFA World Cup, Japanese Anime & lots more! For the first time, I’ve been given special permission to release an hours collection of my TV tracks as an album. Announcing ‘The Prophecy’, set for release on Apple Music and Spotify November 1st 2019. Original artwork by Frank Victoria.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier, with my in-game soundtrack, is getting a limited run physical Playstation 4 release this Friday (September 13, 2019).

I’ve been waiting for the right game to score next, an original story that goes away from the expected narrative & can now announce I’m composer for Engine House VFX Studio on ‘Just Breathe’. Selected by UK Games Fund, follow Loki as he learns to navigate his anxiety and his emotions through a gameplay based on mindfulness. Accompany him through his distress, panics, relief and peace. All he can do to progress is to Just Breathe…

Really looking forward to composing the soundtrack. First up is a demo, more news to follow as the game is developed.

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.
