'GUARDIAN OF THE HIGHLANDS' - A MUSICAL JOURNEY WITH OSCAR NOMINEE PATRICK DOYLE (UK 2013)

Описание: The first animated movie from independent film-makers, Director Sascha Hartmann and original screenplay by Tessa Hartmann, sees Oscar nominated Scot PATRICK DOYLE compose the underscore.

Patrick's Oscar®-nominated work on the original score for "Hamlet" (1996-Best Music, Original Dramatic Score) and "Sense and Sensibility" (1995-Best Music, Original Dramatic Score), as well as his original scores for the hit British comedy "Bridget Jones Diary" (2001) and Saturn Award-nominated "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (1996) attracted the Hartmann's to approach fellow Scot Patrick to compose and record the original score for "Sir Billi." More recently the much sought after composer has done 'Jack Ryan', 'Brave', Caesar Rise of The Planet of the Apes', 'Thor' and 'Igor'.

"We are thrilled with Patrick's uncanny ability to capture the true essence of 'Sir Billi' through his music and bring it to life in this new dimension," said Sascha Hartmann. "Patrick has such a keen musical sense and created just the right nuances to convey the highs and lows of Sir Billi's adventures on his quest to save Bessie Boo the Beaver."

Patrick was inspired to write the theme to the original score on the spot, as the melody of the theme came to him while speaking with Sascha Hartmann about the direction of the score - something Doyle says has only happened twice before in his career.

"Sir Billi's endearing multi-generational family story and cliff-hanger action spikes in the storyline provided me with just the right elements to compose a score I'm proud to say is among my best work to-date," said Doyle. "My goal was to shine a light on the soul of this colorful cast of loveable characters through the power of music."

"Being a part of Sir Billi meant so much because animation has always been a fascination of mine especially because I am from Scotland and know all of the areas where the film is based," said Doyle.

"The fresh look of 'Sir Billi' and its original storyline gave me all the inspiration needed to create some of the best composition work I feel I've done."
