From his formal training as a pianist, Anthony has been exposed to many genres, including classical, jazz, and late-romantic works for piano.

    As a teenager Anthony quickly became interested in rock music, and at age 13 began learning bass guitar. Being completely self-taught, he arranged many classical pieces for bass guitar, and performed it as part of his GCSE Music portfolio. Anthony also taught himself to play guitar and drums, and has been involved in many popular music ensembles creating his own music.

    In spring 2008, Anthony was invited to Leeds Metropolitan University to record 3 tracks he had composed from late 2007. With the help from his brother and a close friend, these pieces were realised. Although they remain unnamed Track 1, Track 2, and Track 3, they offer an insight into his popular music writing style, and a dynamic shift from orchestral works he has produced since.

    His compositions have ranged from works for small ensembles coupled with electronics (with the use of SuperCollider, a real-time audio synthesis and algorithmic compositional tool), chamber orchestras and numerous electro-acoustic pieces. His most recent orchestral piece, Evolution, was commissioned for Birmingham’s BCMG chamber ensemble and premiered at the CBSO centre in Spring 2010.

    Anthony has recently completed an MA in Composition of Music for Film and Television at the University of Bristol. Prior to this, Anthony obtained a Bachelor of Music degree with honours from the University of Birmingham.

    Throughout the MA in Composition of Music for Film and Television, Anthony was given the opportunity to work with various internationally acclaimed ensembles in order to realise his compositions. These ensembles included the Bristol Ensemble, a professional chamber orchestra, and the Gemini ensemble (trio). Gemini is a UK based group, boasting world-wide performances, and prizewinner of the Prudential Awards for the Arts, category of music.

    Throughout the Summer of 2011, Anthony embarked on numerous projects with students from the MA-FTVP (Film and Television Production) course at Bristol University and elsewhere to produce scores for short films, which shall be premiered at the Watershed in Bristol later this year.

    Most of Anthony’s music has been inspired from a wide array of musical genres, ranging from impressionism to the most recent contemporary popular music available.

    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: Most of my work experience has fallen within an academic field, however throughout the summer of 2011 I have embarked on a number of film projects with students from various universities. These have included students from Bristol University to create The Secret Paths of Youth, a film which is set to be screened at the Watershed in October 2011.

    I have worked on original films and existing films to showcase my ability to write in a variety of different musical genres to suit any kind of film. These include fast-paced animation, student drama, nature documentaries and many more.

    As a composer, I have experience creating professional-level scores for live ensembles, and also mixing, mastering and dubbing my own work for current projects. Part of my MA course involved preparing scores, conducting and recording a live professional ensemble playing to picture. I have also gained knowledge on performing rights, musician's agreements and pitching skills to effectively and confidently put ideas across to producers and directors.

    I have also gained experience in dubbing studios at the BBC offices in Bristol, shadowing professional sound engineers in world-class dubbing suites working on pre-aired television programmes.
