Writing to Picture: Composition and Production Techniques

About

In this workshop, Olly breaks down the process of writing music for film and TV, sharing real-world examples from his own projects. The session will cover writing themes, instrumentation, sound design, and unconventional techniques, along with practical tips for pitching your work and navigating the business side of film music.

Olly Shelton is a composer, sound designer, and producer of electronic, experimental, and ambient music. He began his studio career at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions and has worked as a session musician alongside artists such as Imogen Heap, Keane, Basement Jaxx, Kelly Lee Owens, and SAULT.
His experimental approach to composition and sound design ranges from delicate, sparse atmospheres to intense, distorted dance music (under his techno alias, SKU).
Recent placements include Traces (BBC, opening credits), WOLF (BBC), and Bosch, as well as production and additional music contributions for ITV’s Trigger Point and Payback, and the recent Netflix documentary Robbie Williams.
