Elephant Mother
2022
Bungalow Town Productions
A feature length documentary about an elephant sanctuary in Thailand following the extraordinary work of Lek Chailert, a tribal Thai woman, who rescues elephants from abuse in the tourist industry.
I was invited by composer and percussion legend Dame Evelyn Glennie to collaborate with her on the score as score producer and co-composer.
Over several days I recorded Evelyn at her studio utilising a vast array of percussion instruments from her unique collection, which I then used to create a richly textured, dynamic and emotive soundtrack.
The score was mixed in 5.1 surround by Patrick Phillips.
“Sensitive animal documentary with a happy ending”
