Towards the end of last year, I started working on

Towards the end of last year, I started working on this feature documentary alongside the great team at Rogan Productions whom I worked with on Stephen Lawrence: Murder That Changed a Nation, in 2018. A real honour to have been asked to compose the score for such a powerful and important piece about the history of the Black Power Movement in the UK, which has been narrated by #DanielKaluuya and airs this Thursday.

Black Power, which was directed by George Amponsah and edited by Brett Irwin, follows Steve McQueen's Small Axe series, which aired late last year and has been executive produced by Steve McQueen, James Rogan and Soleta Rogan.

I'm immensely grateful to the @lcorchestra and my music team, for their incredible contributions.

Paloma Faith: As I Am. 60 minute version coming so

Paloma Faith: As I Am. 60 minute version coming soon to BBC Two, followed by a feature-length version at a later date on BBC Four.

Pleased to be able to share this powerful film made by @janemingay, for which I’m proud to have composed the original score.

“A documentary I directed and produced. I wanted as a woman, to tell the women’s story that has for so long been overlooked. This documentary is an ode to working mothers - to feminism, social expectations of women, IVF, celebrity culture and the inner workings of the music business for women. Above all - it’s an intimate film about a complex, fearless and powerful performer and I thank Paloma for allowing me to join her world @palomafaith

Great to be back in an unusually quiet Soho yester

Great to be back in an unusually quiet Soho yesterday for day 1 of the Black Power dub and the first time hearing the film’s narration, by someone whom I admire greatly. Covid restrictions mean it’s only one in the room at a time, but big thanks to @molinarepost for making it possible to attend.

Amazing hearing everything come together, from the fantastic playing by @lcorchestra players @musicianderson @ollycoates and @davebasslondon, to @dave.Malkin’s orchestrations, all of which was recorded beautifully by @jeremymurphymusic 🎶

‘Black Power’ coming soon to @bbctwo. Directed by @amponsah_g @roganproductionldn @turbinestudios #stevemcqueen

Revisiting music from a very special series today 😃🎻

#GraysonsArtClub returns later this month with new themes and special guests. The best part of it for me is seeing all of the amazing artwork submitted each week. Can’t wait! 🧡

In the meantime, if you head over to @alanmeasles’ feed, Grayson has been posting art that has inspired his own work over the years. I’d highly recommend working through these. It’s absolutely fascinating!

Very proud to have been asked to compose the score

Very proud to have been asked to compose the score for ‘Black Power’, a feature-length documentary, which will be broadcast on both the BBC and Internationally. It was wonderful to work with the @lcorchestra and such a talented music team on this. I’ll be sharing more details about some of the processes and those involved before the film is broadcast (and when it’s all finished!) 🎬

The film was directed by George Amponsah and executive-produced by Steve McQueen, James Rogan and Soleta Rogan.

Originating during the filming of #SmallAxe, the film examines how the Black Power movement came into being in the late 1960s and fought back against police brutality and racism.

It features rare archive of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael’s activities in Britain, as well as footage of leading figures in the movement in the UK, Altheia Jones-LeCointe, Darcus Howe and Roy Sawh.

Big thanks to @georgievsound for organising the tools! Looking forward to doubling up on @antelope_audio Duo modelling mics, alongside some classic (and jolly nice) audio equipment.
