Oliver is a multi-instrumentalist composer, session musician, sound designer and lyricist based in Brighton, UK.
He first discovered his love of film composition at a young age after continuously watching the 1940 Disney movie Fantasia. This fascination enabled him to develop a nuanced understanding of the effectiveness of music in film and vice versa.
His tendency for emotive scoring and building a narrative through sound has given him a unique approach to his compositions with delicate undertones as well as a flair for the dramatic.
The emerging new talent, who graduated in Music Production from the University of Sussex, began his career in 2011 working on international advertisement campaigns, feature films, and shorts. This led him to experiment and master various contemporary genres including funk, soul, lounge, jazz, ambient rock, punk, acoustic pop, and electro.
Oliver has been a regular component on the works for Digital Mass, a Vancouver based production company led by Director and Visual FX artist Terry Marriot (Harry Potter, Thor, Captain Phillips, San Andreas).
Oliver grew an appreciation for sonic manipulation and creating soundscapes after discovering the works of Cocteau Twins, Curve and My Bloody Valentine in his teenage years. His love of ambient and ethereal atmospheres pushed him to achieve an in-depth understanding of the role of production within his work.
One of Oliver’s greatest strengths is his skill as a lyricist. Alongside his multiple genre capabilities, Oliver’s lyrical ability knows no bounds. He has a sharp wit which he employs in his lyrics to showcase his understanding of the percussive use of language and its emotion.
Above all else, Oliver is a professional. He will go to great lengths to meet and exceed his clients’ requests and expectations regardless of time frame, genre or budget. He has a keen understanding of the innate integrity of each project – his passion, mixed with a theoretical approach for each piece, is reflected in his outstanding and resonant scores.
