2009 was a big year for me personally. I scored my first feature film, director Simon Aitken's feature debut 'Blood+Roses'. This opened a lot of doors for me as I now had my name on imdb.com, which really helps garner respect in the field, and more importantly, I developed a network. I've written music for several projects put together by the script writer of 'Blood+Roses', Ben Woodiwiss, and he also put me in touch with Jonathon Crewe, who I have scored several short films for.
It was also a huge year for me in terms of equipment and ideology. I've invested in several highly acclaimed virtual instruments for composing, and have saved no money whatsoever all year. I decided to invest all the time and money I could into my music.
As a result I now own East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, Symphonic Choirs, StormDrum2 and Ministry of Rock as well as Cakewalk Rapture, Dimension Pro and Steven Slate Drums 3.5 Platinum: a fine selection of sound sources for creating antyhing from cinematic symphonic pieces to electronic and rock based music. I invested a lot of money, but I now have some very powerful sounds at my fingertips.
2010 should be a very interesting year. At the start of 2009 I had none of these fantastic tools, but as I face the new year I am prepared...
