This week David finished working on the score for Love Never Changes, a romantic comedy directed by Joe Conneely that follows the ups and downs of blind dating for fifty-somethings.
The music approached the story with a sense of dry humour, utilising a recurring folk-jazz melody that reflected the quirky characteristics of the unfortunate protagonist, and was recorded in David's studio with Martin Ash on guitars and violin.
David recently finished working on the score for About James, a short film about coping with an abusive relationship, directed by Elisa Kujala.
About James is David's second collaboration with Kujala, having worked together on 12th Floor last summer.
David has just begun work on the score for Danny's Journey, an upcoming film directed by Felipe Toledo that follows a young boy who explores his love for fantasy books as a way of coping with the death of his mother.
In the past few weeks David has finished scoring three new short films that will be premiered in London in the coming weeks.
Anne, directed by Heikki Simppula, is a black comedy about a lonely pensioner who takes a violent dislike to her nurse and the music mixes a pastiche of Beethoven with a homage to Bernard Herrmann.
Tackling troubling issues of domestic violence, 12th Floor is a short film by Elisa Kujala and utilises a dark, minimalist and somewhat psychological score.
