This lovely chap just put down guitar for me on one of a series of international Amazon ads I’ve written!

Eternally grateful for the talent that surrounds me - thank you @jamiemccredie 🎸🎶

“A lovely afternoon spent...
1) Recording parts for Amazon’s upcoming international ad campaign.
2) Trying to remember how to sight read.
3) Realising my stupidly big calf muscles are way too big for skinny jeans.
🎸😎👌🏻
Thanks @charlottelraven

Part of the second film in the series that I’ve been writing music on with @amazon over the last few months. This particular film is being aired exclusively in the US across TV and online. A big thank you to @jamiemccredie for his guitar mastery across a number of these films! 🎸

I’m not someone who makes resolutions when it comes to new years past, however I feel this past year, one of the most valuable lessons I have learnt is what it takes - What it takes to succeed.

2020, although one of the strangest and hardest years yet, was one of my most successful and rewarding years for my music I’ve ever had. Without music, I would have been in a pretty tricky place mentally.

If there’s anything I want to strive for this coming year, it’s to strive for that same energy, to live off it and let it push me to do and be better; to take me out of my comfort zone, to keep me ignited and to help me see further.

To all those I’ve worked with this last year and in the past, I thank you for inspiring me everyday. I can’t wait to work with more incredible creatives than ever before.

Let’s do this. 🎶

@sistermusiclondon Composer Spotlight: Charlotte

@sistermusiclondon
Composer Spotlight: Charlotte Raven

In the first of our Isolation Textures composer spotlight we speak to Charlotte Raven about her writing process and inspiration behind her track ‘Dopamine’.

What was the inspiration/idea behind the song?
“The inspiration behind the track was an environmental one. Throughout lockdown, having moved out of my studio, I’d set up on a table directly facing my garden and created a small remote studio set-up. This complete change of perspective and environment, looking out of a huge glass sliding door that opened out onto the garden definitely influenced the sound behind the track.”

What was the creative/composition process?
“I wanted to keep the track as organic and natural as possible. It all started with a few different elements, the sound of a wind-up clock I’d found in the house, dropping coins down onto a table, sticking my U87 microphone out of the doorway into the garden and recording the sounds of the birds and hum of the city of London. It was these few elements that triggered the creative process, the rest flowed from there. I soon had my electric cello creating all sorts of interesting rhythmic sounds alongside these elements which began the creative drive for the beat of the track.” @charlottelraven

I’ve been lucky enough to have my studio space given to me by my uncle. He is an artist who paints in the rooms below me, while I write in the rooftop above. In the summer it gets unbearably hot and in the winter it gets unbearably cold, but...it’s my space nonetheless! Colourful lights surrounded by artwork and books are a constant inspiration! ✌🏼🎶 #shareyourstudio @ahamiltonayres @saxycoole @fionatron
