James Halfpenny
has over 19 years of professional experience in composing music for
film and television. His original scores, which have been the aural
backdrop for some award winning films, have covered virtually every style and
genre of film ranging from high adventure and action, to emotional drama, to
dark comedy, thriller, western, and slapstick. Utilizing music styles varying from lush orchestral, rap/urban,
country, rock, atmospheric and jazz and just about everything in
between, he works to not only embellish but also to compliment and
solidify the producer's original ideas and concepts for the film.
