    Film in progress· This Christmas

    Don’t You Touch Him

    A Christmas song about the elf on the shelf: back every December, moving overnight, watching and reporting to Santa. Keep the magic.

    Writing· This Christmas

    Christmas in the Sun

    A hot summer Christmas with the whole family: drooping tinsel, a sweating pudding, kids in the sprinkler, aunties dancing and Gogo leading the singing at sunset.

    In the studio

    Hold the Signal

    Everything sounds like static and every station plays the same thing, until you catch the one frequency that’s yours and refuse to let it slip.

Coming to YouTube

The Human Part

A short series about how songs get made: why the words come first, how sound machines have changed music for a hundred years, what really happens in a mix, and how an illustrated film gets built scene by scene.

  • Lyrics first
  • Sound machines, a history
  • How I make a song
  • Craft over noise
  • How the films are made

Further ahead

Songs for other voices

The best thing that could happen to these songs is a singer making one their own. Artists and vocalists are welcome to ask about using songs from the catalogue for their own music.

Writing for artists

Writing to a brief for other artists and the people who produce them, from the story out.

A new light most weeks

New songs and new films keep coming. Each one adds another light.

Be there when the next light comes on.
