Following my slightly negative article on rubbish theme tunes I thought I should balance this out a little with some props out to Jonny Greenwood for There Will Be Blood, and James Newton Howard for Michael Clayton.

I absolutely love Greenwood’s work on There Will Be Blood which I read is made of works he recorded for the BBC based on the music on Pederecki. Well worth a listen and the most original score I have heard for a long long time!

And its not like all tv themes are bad - I love the new channel 5 cricket theme! Samit Patel et al being given the chance to shine!!

I’ve been commissioned to work on an OST: the film is to be called “The Adventures of Gutterboy” about an anti-hero type that lives in the sewers underneath a futuristic-victorian pseudo-London. The commission comes from a London based company called The Painting Practice whose previous credits include Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and the upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace, though this is their first in-house creative project. More to follow….
