Writing Music for Transformers
May 19, 2016 September 17, 2018 / aaronmbuckley
When I first watched Michael Bay's Transformers back in 2007, I came out of the cinema mesmerised. I half expected any car I looked at to transform into a giant robot. But sadly that didn't happen. The visual effects for the film were undeniably amazing, and so was the music. I've listened to Steve Jablonsky's score for that movie countless times, and consider it to be one of my all time favourites.
The success of the first film has led to 3 sequels, with more on the way. Including this one…
Transformers: Dark Before Extinction is a fanfilm currently in preproduction, directed by Aaron Fixter. The music for the film is being composed by Geoffrey Vernon, a very talented composer who lives in Florida, USA. However, there will also be additional music which is to be composed by me. I'm super excited to be involved with the film and have been heavily researching Steve Jablonsky's scores from the main series of films, in order to hone in on that "Transformers" sound.
The film is currently still in the funding phase on Indiegogo and there's plenty of goodies available for everyone who donates. Plus 5% of every donation will go to the charities, The National Autistic Society and Nice 2b Nice. All of the details can be found here – https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/transformers-charity-fan-film#/

I'm thrilled to announce that my score for Cumulus won BEST MUSIC at the 2019 British Animation Film Festival, in Leicester Square, London, on 10th May. @ioanholland and @gloriadmoss did an incredible job at making this film a reality and it was a privilege to be apart of such a talented and supportive team. Ioan and Gloria's dedication to the film and the music resulted in us recording the score last May at the SAE Institute, where we were lucky enough to have two beautiful performances from @cerianmusic on harp and @joolsscott on piano. Sadly I wasn't able to attend the festival, however, Ioan and Gloria were there to represent the film and collect the award. Well done everyone! - - - @cumulopictures #britishanimationfilmfestival #shortfilm #animation #soundtrack #composer #award #filmfestival #originalscore #bestmusic #harp #piano

Orchestra + Bagpipes = AWESOME! The incredible Bath Philharmonia rehearsing for last Friday's concert, where they performed "An Orkney Wedding, with Sunrise" composer by Peter Maxwell Davies, which features an amazing bagpipe solo. #bagpipes #orchestra #scotland #composer #solo #music
