I recorded the string score for 'Confessions of a Brain Surgeon' at Harbor Studios, a BBC Two documentary about the neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, directed by Harriet Bird and Charlie Russell for Curious Films. Patrick Cannell composed the score, with Dave Eggar on cello and Katie Thomas on violin, and Peter Tavoulareas assisting me on the session. It's on the 2026 Grierson Awards longlist for Best Science and Natural History Documentary.
