Alice composes score for exciting new sci-fi feature film 'Revolution X', (formally known as 'As Strange As Angels')

BBC Radio 4 drama - 'Three Sisters Rewired'

Alice recently composed the original music for the BBC Radio 4 drama 'Three Sisters Rewired', a play inspired by Anton Chekhov's 'Three Sisters'. Produced by Graeae Theatre and Naked Productions, the drama was adapted and directed by Polly Thomas and Jenny Sealey. Alice's score also features the beautiful flute playing of Deaf flautist Ruth Montgomery.

On an isolated farm in 21st century Yorkshire, three sisters with varying degrees of D/deafness - Olivia, Masie and Iris - struggle to survive on a financially draining farm, with intermittent internet, Christmas approaching, and a pervading sense of dislocation from the real world.

With the three sisters played by Deaf actors, Three Sisters Rewired breaks new ground as it reimagines the story through the prism of deafness.

Panel Appearance at BBC #Soundstems Event

Alice was invited to speak on the panel at #Soundstems, an exciting BBC / Producers' Forum event which celebrated sound and how important it is to film and TV. Organised by Drew Roper of Yamination Studios, the event was held at the BBC studios at the Mailbox in Birmingham, where The Archers and Home Front are recorded, and included a fun demonstration of Archers sound props!

Alice spoke about the many ways music can change the way we view visuals such as enhancing the emotional content of the film or TV programme. Alice explained that she sees herself almost like an actor, taking on the emotions of all the characters and acting out every role.

Also on the #Soundstems panel was Neil Hilmann, sound designer and editor, notable for his work on the Oscar-winning Lincoln, New York I Love You and Grace of Monaco. And Marc Silk, one of the most in demand voiceover artists in the country, as the voice of Aks Moe in Star Wars Episode 1, Danger Mouse, Johnny Bravo and a million more!

Drama 'Noise' broadcast on BBC Radio 4

'Noise' is produced by Polly Thomas and written by BAFTA-nominated writer Alex Bulmer. It is an intriguing, sound-driven mystery about memory loss and trust. Alex Bulmer is one of the writers of Channel 4’s ground-breaking drama Cast Offs.

The story: Kit is making good progress, after being found unconscious in a local park one freezing February night. Her hypothermia induced memory loss has left her unsure of herself or her surroundings. With the help of hospital therapist, Helena, and her fiancé Dan, Kit returns home, but something isn’t quite right... What is that strange piano melody that keeps penetrating her consciousness? And why is Dan so insistent that she stay indoors? What is the wooden object in the living room that Dan doesn’t want her to touch? And who is Matt, the man who keeps calling? As Kit slowly recovers her memory, she begins to fit together the pieces.
