| description: | Services offered: Music composition and production (sequencing, instrumentation and mastering), from initial idea or client request to final, broadcast-ready piece. Any musical style considered, including music in the style of a given artiste. Compositions already exist in genres soundtrack, jingle, ballad, sonic brand trigger, reggae, rock etc. Rush jobs a speciality. Background: Noel Bruton is the resident music composer and producer for Welsh computer adventure games company Arberth Studios. He composes and produces all the music soundtracks and most of the sound effects for that companys products. This means he must work on large-scale projects, as an adventure game takes tens of hours to play, many times the length of a feature film; but it means he also produces brief, catchy and powerful jingles and sonic triggers to accompany game-plot elements. Arberths current title Rhiannon is published in territories all over the world; it won the five-star award from the leading German adventure Website and the award for PC Adventure Game of the Year from the leading French one. For his game and related work, Noels output ranges from orchestral pieces to numbers for jazz and rock bands. He is also a composer, lyricist and performer of his own songs and ballads in the popular style. At the time of writing (Jan 2010), Noel is currently working on an even more ambitious and epic soundtrack for Arberths next game Coven, on a contemporary solo album and on a song for an Irish-acoustic folk group. A showreel disk showing the breadth of his compositional skills is available free of charge from www.arberthstudios.com/music. |

| description: | Ed studied composition at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, graduating with First Class Honours in 2008 under tutors Lynne Plowman and Timothy Raymond. As a composer, arranger and producer, Eds output ranges from concert works to film soundtracks and music for amateur musicians. Citing influences from Eric Truffaz and Cinematic Orchestra to Charles Ives and Gregorian chant, his music draws on both Jazz and classical idioms and can be distinguished by his use of lyrical lines, organic structures and distinct, dramatic orchestration. His instrumental music includes orchestral works Darkroom Shavings and Tree, both performed in workshops by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Other works include Blue & Gold, a duet for clarinet and tenor horn, which was composed and recorded as part of the Davies Sisters collection exhibition at National Museum Cardiff, and Blue Thread for alto sax, cello and piano, selected as part of the Vox Novus 60x60 project. Film projects have included an upbeat soundtrack for the natural history film Bay of Life (installed at Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre and distributed to 1800 schools across Wales) and music for the short film Tool Thieves. A composer continually inspired by the dramatic potential of the human voice, Eds vocal writing has seen him twice winner of the Barry Choral Society Competition prize with In Viam Pacis and The Falling Star, a setting of a poem by then 7-year old Oneeb bin Nauman. During the summer he completed Snowfall, a work for soprano and mixed ensemble, written under the guidance of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Alasdair Nicolson and Sally Beamish at this years St Magnus Festival composers course in Orkney. Not Being Charles Frieth, Eds operatic aria to a libretto by Bethan James, was recently performed under the guidance of Judith Wier by Gareth Lloyd and David Seaman with Michael McCarthy and Michael Rafferty directing and conducting as part of the Music Theatre Wales Make an Aria project, in conjunction with Michael Berkeley and Ian McEwans new opera For You. For the academic year 2008-2009 Ed is composer-in-residence for the Stem Cell Multi-arts Project at St. Gregorys Catholic College. The project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, takes the areas of stem cell related research, developments and debate as a creative stimulus for compositions, dance and art by GCSE pupils, developing to a dance and arts concert presentation in summer 2009. Since July 2008 Ed has been working with composer John Hardy at his studio in Cardiff providing promotional, administrative and creative support for a wide range of media and concert projects. In addition to composing Ed has reviewed concerts and CDs for the Society for the Promotion of New Music and performs with the BBC National Chorus of Wales.
