About

CLICK HERE FOR THE CD

This album is comprised of a selection of pieces originally composed for Leanne Pooley's film, Beyond the Edge, a documentary about Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's momentous expedition to reach the summit of Mt Everest in 1953.

Before I started working on the music, producer Matthew Metcalfe said something like, ‘When you think of Ed Hillary and Everest, an obvious type of score comes to mind. Don’t do that’. This comment set the tone for the project. I’ve worked with the director Leanne Pooley and editor Tim Woodhouse on a number of occasions, and the experience has always been great. They are amazingly supportive, and often push me further. Our working method is very fluid: I send demos while the edit is in progress; they adjust the cut to the score and suggest changes.
