Grender

Grender from Luke Tierney on Vimeo. Plot Summary: A scientist reflects on his inspiration for creating a “milestone in human history” machine. Joff’s Notes: Grender is a beautifully ridiculous ‘mood piece’ by director Luke Tierney. The music we went for was simple and slightly Coplandesque – evoking a sort of ‘pioneer spirit’.

Where has Joff Bush been?

Hello. It’s been 6 months since the slightest chirp was heard from Joff Bush in internet land.

Thor’s Conundrum

About Watch it here Joff’s Notes I thought it would be interesting to use chip-tone music for a story of the gods rather than the typical faux-epic stuff that these things usually attract. It was really fun and trickier than I thought. The resulting music was a bit of a mix between authentic 8-bit game […]

Pinocchio

A recent batch of compositions bursting into ears include some tunes written for ‘Pinocchio, histoire d’un coup de latte’. A delicious theatre production that is currently touring in France. Check it out in the ‘projects’ section of this site… or click here.

Pinocchio

About ‘Pinocchio, Hisoire D’un Coup De Latte’ is a fun, witty and original interpretation of the story of Pinocchio. It originally toured around France in late 2011. www.barbarianphilosophers.org Joff’s Notes This was a really fun project. The approach was simply to write music that I felt described the characters in Pinocchio. The music and the production […]

Coca Cola Viral

Watch it on youtube HERE Joff’s Notes: This mockumentary style viral ad tells the story of three friends trying to recreate the famous Coke Summer commercial. Because of the fast turn around, much of the music is from Ack’s library unreleased tracks that were then edited, arranged, mashed up, digested several times and stuck back […]

Microsoft 7 Film Festival

Joff’s Notes: The brief for this was “epic, epic, EPIC!” Epic? What flavour? We tried the Braveheart-war-tragedy-epic style but there was too much smiling and it didn’t quite feel right while the Zimmer-goddamn-hero-epic style just wasn’t much fun either… Morricone! Yes an ‘Ecstasy of Gold’- style epic-ness seemed to be bold enough while tapping into […]

Strange Calls

$quid (Short)

Joff’s Notes Look past, if just for a moment, the giant squid, the unlikely scenario, and the millions of dollars, and you’ll find $quid is essentially a film about friendship and redemption. The music aims to embody the drama in this friendship, whilst (in the spirit of ‘Jaws’) simultaneously represent the squid. This creates the […]

Plot summary: Rudiger, a banker, and Mr Salmon, a tycoon, a surprised when they meet each other for the first time. And the second. And the third… Hold on to your hats! Joff’s Notes: I wanted the music to have a sense of improvisation, as if the pianist was watching the film for the first […]

Stay In Bed Day 2

Summary: Stay in Bed Day was an event aimed at raising awareness and support for sufferers of mitochondrial disease. Joff’s Notes: The music for this installment of the Stay In Bed Day campaign aims for a triumphant ‘Bolero’ feel while the exaggerated crashing and spilling of the sound design tells a different story.
