Alex Wilson & Edward Farmer
Since meeting a decade ago, Alex & Ed have worked together as co-composers on several projects of music for film and television, and live performance, including several of the BBC TV "Race Across the World" series, production music albums for Warner and KPM, live performances including the "Journey across Latin America" piano concerto. Their working relationship captilises on the unique combination of Alex's vast world music experience with Ed's cinematic film scoring. Combining driving grooves from the African diaspora, with soaring string lines, authentic instruments from across the world, synth production and cinematic soundscapes, their collaboration offers a fresh voice in scoring, which has already featured in productions around the world.
