Hi, welcome to my Natural History page.

I have been scoring Natural History films for over twenty years, including winning an Emmy in 2014.

For me this is an exciting time as musically anything is possible in Natural History films .

I have a very successful career scoring animation so feel free to hop over to my children's/animation page.

January 2024 I scored ‘My Otter Diary’ for Oxford Scientific Films, directed by Sughandhi Gadadhar and Raghunath Belur, it was shortlisted for ‘Best Music’ at the 2025 Wildscreen Summit for best music and best score at Germanys 2026 Greenscreen festival.

I'm very interested in alternative approaches to scoring natural history , check out 'City of the Army Ants' , 'Battle of the Flowers' or 'penguin walk' as something more left field targeted at a younger audience.

Working with brolly on 'My Otter Diary' was a real pleasure. He took the beautiful otter film that we made with our amazing co-producers at Aranya Parva Creations and created a score that lifted every scene. His music didn't just support the images, it brought them to life, adding emotion , energy and a real sense of joy that made the film even more special.

Brolly has a fantastic instinct for storytelling through music . He knew exactly when to be subtle and when to let the score shine, helping audiences connect even more deeply with the otters and their world. His Soundtrack became an essential part of the film and added so much to the final result.

Brolly was also a joy to work with throughout the process. Creative, thoughtful and collaborative, he was always open to ideas while bringing plenty of his own. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a composer who can enhance a story with music in such a natural and memorable way.

Our lovely co-producers at Oxford Scientific Films introduced us to Brolly. Rana and I first met him during Wildscreen, and instantly loved him for his energy and eagerness to understand what we wanted to say as part of our story. Little did we realise that we would meet in person again next year, with him being nominated at Wildscreen for Best Music for our film, My Otter Diary. 

Brolly brings unique value by ensuring he understands the pulse not just of the film but also of the rest of the creative crew. At every step, he put in the extra effort to understand what emotion we wanted to convey, and at the same time, helped us understand why a particular instrument or choice of tune would work better. For him, our otter film was about the feel of the river, the energy of the otters and the plight of the fishermen. We have been screening our films across different festivals and/or events, and I feel so proud and happy when the audience comes and tells me, “I loved your story, and the music. Who was the composer? It’s so nice to watch a film where the music is just right, with the right feelings and not overpowering.”
