About Me

Hey, my name is Rick. I’m a 21 year old composer from the north east of England. One of my great enjoyments in life is watching movies. Especially when that movie has a great score. I love listening to film scores, so I decided to begin composing myself.
I have many favourite composers and I am influenced by many different styles. At the moment I'm doing a lot of experimenting with different styles and different combinations of instruments. A lot of what I write is off-beat and quirky. When you listen to my music you should listen with an open mind.
I personally think that music is the most powerful form of art out there and is incredibly moving and inspiring. Which is why I wanted to compose and is why I love orchestral music. All the tracks on my page are written and mixed by me. I get a great deal of satisfaction and enjoyment out of writing these tracks and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do writing them.
On Myspace I can only fit 6 songs on the player and I'm pretty much always writing new tracks, so I delete old tracks upload the newer ones... If you want to check out the rest of my music you can click the banner below to check out my Soundclick page.
Enjoy.
- Rick.
