My name is Pete Checkley and I am a Media Composer.
I specialise in various types of composition and sound design for multiple visual media platforms with the emphasis on cinematic composition.
Understanding the nature of 'Composition for Media' and the supporting role it assumes is of paramount importance. Every composition is meticulously created and assured to enhance the audience experience of visual media, without ever overstating it's own importance. The value-added nature of this form of composition or design is crucial when evaluating its success. Not merely the composition itself.
I fully understand the importance of effective communication between myself and any clients and I am comfortable with the micro-management approach when developing a project. I am equally am congenial with macro-management (the 'just tell me when it's finished' method). It is client preference.
Experience gained so far has provided the opportunity to work with various briefs and essential criteria, along with project milestones and deadlines. I pride myself on the professionalism to deliver. If you are not happy, I am not happy.
Achieving excellence is not possible without cutting edge technology. All compositions utilise the most modern hardware and software currently available. Powerful workstations along with multiple professional libraries help create the most immersive and realistic sound possible. Projects are mixed and mastered ‘in-house’ to improve turnaround and manage costs. Professional monitors and a sound treated space help polish a finished piece.
I am based in the UK. However, communication technology supports global collaboration. It has never been easier. Wherever you are, if you require musical composition or sound design, I want to hear about your project.
Let's make some music!
