NICHOLAS SINGER
"I have huge admiration for Nick's work. He has a fine ability to understand the world of a story and interpret it musically.
He understands the dramatic requirements of a musical cue and is able to write music which times with action perfectly. He is
extremely committed and hard-working, with a perfectionists desire to get it right however much work is involved."
David Tucker (Director: Lark Rise to Candleford, Midsomer Murders, Eastenders)
"The music is superb. We were so taken with the sheer pleasure of watching the images with just the music and natural sounds that
we have decided to feature a soundtrack-only option on the DVD."
Linda Romano (Executive Director, Readers Digest Global Video Programming)
"Nicholas is a smart and sensitive composer. I recently worked with him on our 35mm feature film Burlesque Fairytales. He knows
when to push for a big sound and when to hold it back, his use of re-occurrence of themes underlined those links in the script which
succeeded in giving this picture the feeling of a complete, whole world, and his composition supported the artist's performances, bringing
out the best of them."
Susan Luciani (Director:Burlesque Fairytales, Dolls)
"Nick showed amazing versatility when I worked with him at Trocadero Studios.
He scored a wide variety of animated and live-action projects to a very high standard while coping with very demanding deadlines."
Andrew Prentice (Director, Trocadero Studios Paris)
