Red - A Fairytale
Another HND project, Ben was given the task to compose a theme for the final year class project 'Red - A Fairytale' which is 'Little Red Riding Hood' in the style of film director Tim Burton. Tim Burton uses the composer Danny Elfman, who is famous for such film scores as 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Sleepy Hollow'. It is Danny Elfman who Ben is recreating in this composition.

La Femme
La Femme is Ben's latest work. It is a short waltz written on the piano, but could quite easily be transposed to the glockenspiel or music box. Whilst writing this, Ben had an image of a music box in a street gutter with soldiers marching past.
