ALISTAIR J. BROWN - COMPOSER
Alistair is a Scottish composer specialising in bespoke music for film, television and podcasts, working with creative teams both around his local Greater Glasgow area in Scotland and internationally, with recent commissions being received from New Zealand.
He has written music to a brief in many different genres including symphonic scores, hybrid-electronic soundtracks, folk, hybrid folk, rock, EDM, and intimate piano. Much of his recent writing combines traditional acoustic sounds with what he likes to call ‘found sound’ – everyday sounds that he records and manipulates using different sound design processing techniques.
The results are a bespoke blend of textures and sound, fitting for the project brief.
• WHAT OTHERS SAY •
Highly recommend to others and I would like to work with him again.”
Sukhvir Parmar, Klean Slate Films (Writer / Director / Producer) – The Outsider (Short) 2021
All communication was polite and professional making Alistair a joy to work with.”
Stephanie Horne – Coming Out (Short) 2022
Not only is he talented, but also easy to work with and I’m very happy I collaborated with him as the result enhances the animations so much.”
“For music made in a day, this miniature score matches my animation perfectly. It shows an understanding of my character who was only on screen for a few seconds. It was exactly what I hoped for on the first try.”
The soundtrack that Alistair created for the morphing animation was a really lovely use of differing instruments in a score. The rabbit, fish and bird are each assigned a different sound befitting to their movements as the animation loops and they continue to change into one another, the soundtrack builds and grows, each time around making the transition between melodies more seamless. This soundtrack managed to add a whole new layer onto the story that wasnt previously present and really was a wonderful score to hear played on top of it.”
Rachel Collingswood – The Star Catcher and Morphing Animals (Short animations) 2022
He produced the music really quickly, turning it round in a day. I am looking forward to collaborating with Alistair again in future.”
The music he gave us is an invaluable part of our short, elevating and enriching it from the first frame to the last. I would be happy to work with him again in the future.”
Georgina Tibai (Producer) – Sacred Skin (Short) 2022
I highly recommend Alistair to any filmmaker or producer in need of a talented and dedicated composer.”
He is always up for challenge and I wish him the best of luck for his upcoming projects.
It was great working with him again and I look forward to working with him for a 3rd time.”
