Every family has secrets, but very few ever get to the heart of what they are. Silent Music is the story of one daughter’s attempt to do just that.
Having completed the full instrumental score, I was asked by the Director for my thoughts for

Sad to be finished scoring a beautiful documentary…
Its a strange feeling for me to be honest as although I’m thrilled to have completed the work on Silent Music, I’m strangely sad to be finishing work on what I think is a really beautiful documentary.
It must have all along been very very odd for Melissa to be working on this project – one I know that she decided to make, but one that I’d imagine has grown and grown far beyond Melissa’s own expectations. And I have to say, from my own personal point of view, that I have grown incredibly fond of Melissa’s entire family as I have watched their very different personalities and stories unfold. It is a strong testament to Melissa’s film-making skills that she manages to convey each of their different characters with such a skillful and delicate touch.
As far as working with Melissa, I have genuinely loved working with her on her documentary. It has been very challenging at times I will admit, but I have relished these moments along the way. I personally, have learnt a great deal from this working experience which in some ways has been a far more valuable lesson to me, than had everything been smooth sailing throughout….
I really hope that this documentary is as successful as it deserves to be – it is an extraordinarily haunting story, one with great depths of emotion and great tenderness in the telling, despite the extraordinary obstacles Melissa encountered.
