. Everything about the production was right... and the foreboding music: The whole creative team deserve plaudits for their efforts.
         BBC Online review of Lear at L.I.P.A.
   David's score has turned our trailer into gold. He took our ideas on board, suggested his own and presented us with a result that is much more like what we were actually after than what we had initially pictured and asked for. He's worked within our tight time scale with great enthusiasm and was very helpful and supportive throughout the process. Lovely collaboration, fantastic result.
