About Me

Composer Kevin Skinner has dedicated his life to creating music that is visual and evocative of mood and emotion. We think you will agree from the samples here that he has an ability to encapsulate and enhance with music the substance and essence of a vision. Making it a complete experience.War Machine and This Once Was Home, along with the title theme currently at the top of our playlist, are pieces written for Lewis Beach's film version of H.G.Wells' The War Of The Worlds. These tension building and dramatic pieces demonstrate Kevin's ability to write music across many genre including orchestral and choral work. The movie is to be released soon.Kevin has also written the sound track for the "Toxic Garden". A new sim in the virtual world of second life. This example of his work in a more contemporary electronic genre can be found on his website. We are very proud to have provided this and other material for our clients past and present and would be very excited to provide music for your project. Whether it is digital media such as video gaming, simulation, film, from corporate to artistic creation, audio branding or any other vision to which we can bring the colour of sound and the power of music.Shaman's Night, was written by Kevin purely for the love of it and to satisfy his need to create music, especially when the Awen, bardic inspiration, flows most strongly within him. This award winning track was voted to first place in the online Eistedfodd of the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids. As have several other of his pieces. With pieces like this, Kevin seeks to reverse the process of writing music to work in combination with visual media by writing music that creates images within the mind of the listener.Fehu is another track that won the Eistedfodd. It's one of four tracks that were inspired by and named after runes from the first Aett of the Eldar Futhark. If you listen to the other tracks here it demonstrates the diversity of Kevin's work. Throwing off the restrictions of genre empowers Music Druid to provide music to create mood and atmosphere for pretty much any project or media. Although Fehu was written purely as a stand alone piece of music it has been used for film and for an art exhibition.Copper Moon Dreamtime is a newly completed piece written by Kevin for his own handfasting, to his fiance Kae.For more information about Kevin and his work, please visit www.musicdruid.com
