Music ~ A healing balm…

Music lover Stephen spent nearly three months in a coma with brain cancer and survived a bone marrow transplant throughout all of which he listened to his favourite music on a playlist 24/7: Gorecki’s 3rd symphony, Mala’s 3rd symphony – the slow movement, Mala’s 5th symphony – the slow movement and Samuel Barbour.

Stephen is a British born classical composer, conductor and music producer best known for his film soundtracks which include Redbelt, Evelyn, Home of the Brave, Finding Graceland and The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. He wrote the Grammy nominated score for De-Lovely and the incidental music for the Rose Center for Earth and Space at The American Museum of Natural History.

Stephen’s latest project ‘A Boy, A Man And His Kite’ is a short film which explores the reason he believes he got sick, the abuse he suffered as a child and the way he repressed those feelings for almost 30 years. View the film here
