With an emphasis on real instruments, strong themes, and melodies, UK’s Stephen Daltry's TV and Film commissions include the 2018 feature 'Of Fish and Foe' for BBC Scotland, the Sundance hit 'The Moo Man,' two documentaries on Princess Diana for ITV, 'The Hunt,' BBC (Cultural Prix Italia Winner), and scores for Discovery, Ch4, Ch5, PBS, and Cinema. Stephen has a Classical music style mixing his love of piano with sampled sounds for some of his scores, including the Grierson Award-nominated "The 2000-Year-Old Computer" for BBC (2013).
Stephen Daltry's "Secret Talks" is a brilliant, dark, and mysteriously dramatic track fantastic for any creative TV/Film production needing to set an ominous, foreboding mood. Whether the scene is sad or suspenseful, this track is quite sparse leaving plenty of room for dialog without saturating the scene with music.
