Here's a film made by the very talented Guiseppe Badalamenti, which uses a Minotaur Shock/Bagatelle Music tune called "Lady Came From Baltic Wharf". There is also a 'Making Of' documentary which can be found on YouTube.

Overexposed

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:15:00 +0000

Currently working on some atmospheric musical sounds for a forthcoming series of Channel 4's 3 Minute Wonders called "Overexposed". The series is based around audio recordings of interviews with people involved in London's sex industry, accompanied by beautiful camerawork. It's all pre-watershed, so don't worry, nothing too blue.

The Moon The Moon

noreply@blogger.com (David) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 13:52:00 +0000

Been quiet on here for a while, but that's 'cos we've been working on original music for a theatre production called The Moon The Moon, which has been written and directed by Unlimited Theatre.

The play is currently showing at the Birmingham Rep before moving on to Newcastle, Newbury, Liverpool, Leeds and finally London. We've seen it, and it's really good.

Writing for theatre was great fun, and it was ace learning how a proper touring show is put together. Clever stuff!

Thanks to everyone at Unlimited, the cast, and particularly Mr Spooner. Photo by Robert Day.

Here's one of the songs from the show, "Those Drunken Nights":

Green Lions and us

Clash of the Titans! Bagatelle Music have teamed-up with the mighty Green Lions to produce and source music for their feature-length 'Erasing David' documentary. Those clever Green Lions are currently filming and researching the project which received support from Channel 4's 'Britdocs' earlier in the year. We can't tell you too much about it yet but remember where you heard it first... It will be a good 'un.

What's cooking

This is a TV commercial that uses some Bagatelle Music. It came out a while back in the good ol' USA.

Death Cap for Cutie

We recently did the music for this charming little film. Made by Green Lions, the film features a top secret mushroom hunt led by Mama Irene. It is currently being shown on Current TV.

The music features Dominic rinsing melodically from his trusty Gameboy.

Crumbs! Guess what? One of our songs was used in E4's groundbreaking drama Skins.

We recorded "Car Stereo" under our disco-dance pseudonym Sharp Clicks. For your listening pleasure, you can download the whole song entirely for free simply by clicking on the link below. It's a fun tale set to a glittery beat. Sometimes that's all you need.

Community Links

The lovely Green Lions boys asked us to compose a bit of music for this film. It's quite serious. Community Links is an innovative inner city charity running community-based projects in east London. They help over 50,000 vulnerable children, young people and adults every year, with most of our work delivered in Newham, one of the poorest boroughs in Europe.

Here's an ad for some shoes. The shoes don't touch the ground much, but that's because they are skate shoes, they are made for doing ace stuff like Daewon right here does. The music, as is all the music on this page, was recorded at Bagatelle Music's 3-storey top secret recording complex and leisure centre.

Welcome!

So here we are on the web at last. It's nice here, some people might say it was cold, but we find it quite comforting. We're at home.

Hope you like our little page and you can find whatever it was you were looking for, and if you weren't looking for it, we hope you find it anyway. Feel free to get in touch, especially if you want us to do any music because that's what we do. But most other things you want to talk about are ok too.

We'd like to thank GS for helping get these words and pictures on your computer screen. Thanks, G!
