Selected Works
Composition Projects / 2009 - Present
Presented here are just a few of the award-winning projects, classic commercials and personal favourites Philip Kay has scored.
Featuring work directed by Daniel Wolfe, Derek Cianfrance, Ian Pons Jewell and Rupert Sanders and the much-missed Ringan Ledwidge.
“Phil Kay is one of a kind. Phil is the secret sauce, hired-gun for most of our unsolvable, most difficult and important music projects. He is singular in his taste and execution.
He has a way of ingesting a film and rather than just give you what you say you want, he gives you what he thinks is best for the film - and he’s usually right.”
He’s able to score complex intricate films seamlessly, effortlessly, and cohesively while still maintaining his unique voice and warm authentic production. It never just sounds like ‘ad music’."
