Sidmouth Sound

About Me

For the last two years Big Tree have been composing for film/TV and corporate clients on a range of successful projects that have included a documentary commissioned by the Nepalese Tourist Board, various short films and a promotional film for the Norwood charity. The team of composers have been involved in numerous solo projects and so far 2007 has been a busy year with a number of performances, workshops and composing work on "Kids Inc", a film about an exchange project between schools in Stoke Newington and Uganda... There has also been a great deal of interest from short film makers with two films soundtracked by Big Tree on their way to Cannes as we speak. In addition to the soundtrack work, Big Tree have started to venture out of the studio to promote their work as solo artists and electro-acoustic performers. Keep your eyes peeled for details about forthcoming shows and a new myspace to showcase Big Tree's songwriting stuff. Yes indeed.
