Testimonials

• "Robin is a joy to work with.."

  • "..he is passionate, responsive, insightful and produces fantastic work in even the most stressful timeframe.
    Talking through the score with Robin often helps my own understanding of the narrative, tone and characterisation, such is his acute appreciation of his craft - Robin is a storyteller in his own right."

  • Robert Savage, director
    

• "..seemed to have a natural instinct for hitting the perfect tone.."

  • "Robin seemed to have a natural instinct for hitting the perfect tone of the film. Our film was a Tudor murder mystery and I was giving Robin the difficult challenge of combining these genres. He produced superb results in a very tight timescale. I recommend him very highly."

  • Tom Cholmondeley, director
    

• "..warm, communicative and flexible.."

  • "Robin is acutely aware of the hidden musicality within and across cinematic images and also sees music as a pictorial landscape. He was able to draw from the film’s thematic issues to visually sculpt his notes into melodies that provided both aural and optical evocations of mood and tone. He is warm, communicative and flexible, and has an almost obsessive devotion to his work. I am looking forward to collaborating with him on future projects." 

  • George Purves, director

• "..intuitive, creative and collaborative.."

  • "Robin is a delight to work with; intuitive, creative and collaborative, he produces wonderful music which suits the film perfectly. " 

  • Mark Fielder, director

• "..able to devine small hints and subtleties in the movie.."

  • "Robin scored two ten-minute films of mine. It was an enjoyable and remarkably smooth process as I found that Robin's instincts usually coincided with mine. He was able to devine small hints and subtleties in the movie, and then underpin them with sensitivity and clarity, on more than one occasion effectively enhancing an actor's performance."

  • Jonathan Firth, director and actor

• "..excelled my expectations.."

  • "Robin immediately understood what I required, and not only did he produce what I was looking for, but through his own vision, he delivered something that excelled my expectations. The final outcome was a score that both accentuated the shots and helped drive the narrative, enhancing the quality of the film. Robin’s attitude is at once friendly and professional. A pleasure to work with, I would recommend others to work with him in the future, as I most definitely intend to do." 

  • Rhodri Davies, director
