LIONEL
COHEN - Composer/Song writer/Lyricist |
Lionel's
music is chameleon in the fused styles of Electronica, Industrial,
Techno, Punk
Opera, Middle Eastern, Glam Rock and Classical. His body of works
is an idyllic example of how music breaks down all barriers from
all cultures and musical styles.
lionel’s
professional career is as solid and varied as his creativity. He
is the 21st century Renaissance man. Whether as a consummate performer
with bands as Sassy Scarlet (Glam/Punk), Bill@War (Pop/Techno),
The PLastic FanTastics (Electronica/Glam Punk), The Liquid Leather
Lizards (Cabaret/Lounge), ab(synth) (Electronica/Opera) or as an
ambient and film music producer, a photographer, painter, playwright,
screenwriter or fashion designer; lionel never ceases to fearlessly
create, perform and produce art
in its desired form.

DOUG
GORDON - Composer/Producer/Design Illustrator |
After
modest success in the '80's writing and performing with his own
band, Doug's parallel career as a designer, led him to write music
to pictures.
Commissions
followed, including the critically acclaimed 'Gaudi - An Act of
Kindness' by Patrick Egan. So integral was the music that
the producers acceptance of the Channel 4 commission was conditional
that Doug be retained as composer and, unusually, pictures were
cut to his music.
He
went on to both write the theme, and design the titles for 'Beyond
Belief' a chat show hosted by Dr Anthony Clare.
He was involved at the beginning of Acid House music and, in addition
to collaborating with Boy George and Steve Overbury, co-wrote and
produced, with Nicky Holloway and Pete Tong, the seminal No. 1 dance
chart hit 'Sure Beats Working', along with its follow-up
'Burn Out, Don't Fade Away' for London FFRR Records, which, frankly,
bombed.
He
has composed for both commercial and corporate clients, and has
been Musical Director for a small theatre group.
He has been a composer for twenty years, and so has a vast experience
of various musical styles from which to draw. He has studied
Music Composition and Synchronization for Film & Video at WAES,
and can score for live musicians as well as using his own recording
facilities to meet budgetary and deadline constraints.
Doug
has one daughter and lives with his cat near Bankside.

KATE
MAYBERRY - Composer
Trained
at Westminster Adult Education Institute. Kate has jazz and classical
background, although she can write in most styles.
Kate
says : "I've written the music for two films for the London
International Film
School. 1: Not A Love Story (1998) and 2: Going Blind (1999).
I would like
to score a few short films for independent filmmakers who, like
me, are just
starting out. Of course I would also welcome other projects.
I took
evening classes in jazz theory for three years before moving into
film
composition, and before that I studied classical piano and cello
for several
years. My course involved conducting film music recorded by
live musicians
as well as all the technical aspects of studio engineering. So I
have the
training-- now I just need the credits!"

CHRISTOPHER
READ - Composer
To
date after years of live gigs and session work Chris is starting
to see the rewards of his production and writing skills that have
led him into composing music for Film, TV, Radio, New Media and
as an artist in his own right releasing material on various labels
worldwide.
Whilst
studying Graphic Design in the early 90’s at the University of Central
England (Birmingham Poly!) Chris became involved in the Arts group
‘Pals Productions’. Here he encouraged kids to become involved in
music, and the production of music, by passing on his skills as
a musician and producer. Here Chris’s music was used in various
Radio 4 programmes and many interactive installations.
Also
whilst studying in Birmingham Chris joined the 8-piece Afro band
Mau Mau as guitarist and percussionist. Here he played numerous
gigs with the highlight being Ronnie Scott’s.
After
the band ‘thing ‘Chris became involved in the club scene in Birmingham
and Manchester. Hooking up with fellow musicians carving a niche
in the club circuit by improvising over the DJ’s. Chris set up the
group of musicians called the Bench Players sessioning with the
likes of 808 state, Galliano, The Sandals, Ben Wilcox, Anthony Teasdale,
Matt Thompson and whole Fat City crew in Manchester. Not to mention
the infamous Jam MC’s. Anyone worth there salt throughout the North
West knew of there ‘experimental nights’ shall we say…. Here Chris
played with Smith & Mighty. Simon Phat Head (Athletico) and
many other DJ’s at his long termed residency with the Jam Mc’s
So
after eventually moving to London, a now accomplished musician /
producer with a HND under his belt in Music technology. Chris hooked
up with DJ Simon Pinto and here tailored this towards their personnel
projects Open Source / Bench Players. Having their first release
on London Based DJ promoter Stuart [Faith/Soulsonic] Patterson’s
Transfusion label under the moniker Open Source.
“It's
good quality Latin/ jazzy house and will appeal to the lovers of
Spiritual Life/Ibadan labels and those who like their house music
chilled. Already charted in seven magazines zzzub chart two weeks
running and given plays by Ibiza's cooler, more knowledgeable DJ's.”
More
recently Chris is putting out some fantastic sexy deep house business
on the strictly quality, house label Naked Music over in San Francisco.
The Dadhouse Label run by Chris bangs (once producer of Paul Wellar),
Boy George’s Label, Third World Disco, and again Boy Georges latest
mix CD on the fantastic Trust The DJ series. A remix of a track
on the Moving Shadow Label owned by Rob Playford (producer of Goldies
Timeless album) by the EZ Rollers - the other remix’s on the EP
are by Roni Size and The Amalgamations of Sound.
Chris’s
involvement in the feature film Soho Square - which is receiving
interest from BBC Films has given him the chance to show his passion
for the ‘deeper and darker’ side of orchestrated music. His involvement
was to produce and direct the whole musical theme, relying on his
now vast contacts within the industry and his classical guitar training.
Chris was able to pull together a great score, drawing on his influences
such as Dimitri Shostakovich, Henryk Gorecki, Ennio Morricone, Zbigniew
Preisner
and the more recent Jocelyn Pook (Eyes Wide Shut - Stanley Kubrick)
who collaborated on one of the tracks for the film.
Once
again Chris Delivered the goods designing and producing the sound

'Laura
Rossi has composed a hauntingly atmospheric accompaniment to the
seven Silent Shakespeares featured on this tape. A graduate of the

making a startling debut. Under Rossi's direction, the mood sweeps
through a spectrum of spine-tingling emotions, encapsulating the
drama and poetry of each tale'. BFI.
'The
BFI should be congratulated on this tape. It provides a rare opportunity
to see these beautiful early films which are now much to fragile
to project.' Martin Scorsese.
'Watching
them - hearing the cellos and violins, the piano solos - becomes
a dream-like experience' Nicci Gerrard, The Observer.
'...
extremely accomplished music' Annette Morreau, The Independent.
