Thanks so...

Alex Baranowski, Composer, Dance I've been lucky to have worked with the brilliant 2Faced Dance company for almost ten years; last month they embarked on a worldwide tour of Everything (But The Girl) - a triple bill of pieces of which I scored two of - Hollow in a World Too Full and Seven Point Zero.

They work with a number of schools and community classes nationally all of which have had to be cancelled for the foreseeable future. In light of this......
Album, Alex Baranowski, BBC, Blog, Composer, Film, Music, Soundtrack, Television I've recently recorded this live piano version of "A Life Lived" from The Windermere Children in my studio.

Alex Baranowski, Commercial, News, Soundtrack, String Arranger Every year I seem to end up scoring a Christmas ad, and it seems like 2019 was no exception…. it was lovely to be asked to write for this beautiful animation directed by the brilliant Againstallodds and James Rouse for McDonald’s. The track was recorded at Abbey Road Studio 2 with the London Metropolitan Orchestra conducted...
