Led by Steve Berman, a musician whose industry experience includes working as a music editor in Hollywood and managing composers at Pinewood Studios, six of the UK's most established composers have come together to form The Composer Works.

In tune with a growing list of local and national production companies, The Composer Works offers a great range of music services for all media. 

Whatever the circumstances are, there will never be a need to look outside of our studio doors for music.

  • Countrywise and Countrywise Kitchen, ITV 1.

    March 2012: Countrywise is back! 

    When composer Dan Selbywas first selected to write the music for the primetime ITV1 series he worked closely with Series Producer, Frazer Sheppard, to first develop the music for the opening titles sequence.

    Dan explains: “Frazer is a musician himself, so he came to the table with strong ideas on what was required.  We talked in detail about the role the music needed to play. Frazer played me some tracks with different elements that he felt worked and I also played him some material from my back catalogue, along the same lines.

    Frazer takes up the story: “Dan quickly locked onto what we wanted, worked intuitively and creatively and in close partnership with ourselves to achieve great results in a short time frame. We were delighted with the results.” 

    Dan's music also features in the hit ITV 1 series Wild Britain With Ray Mears.
