Testimonials

Thomas & Friends (TV Score): Exceptional! Love how you opened with a fun rollicking cinema theme and then gradually brought in darker notes as the Diesels are seen. The "industrial" elements were very well done as well and a great new sound for us.
— Eric De Cordova (Director and Producer, Driver Digital)
Thomas & Friends Super Station: Thank you Richard! Matt and I adored this. You took us on quite the journey it was lovely seeing your light and fun stuff only be followed by such a riveting and exciting danger theme!
— Eric De Cordova (Director and Producer, Driver Digital)
SOCO: Really experienced musician, who takes the initiative to get involved with the script, the director and takes great pride in his work. Richard was extremely careful in making sure the music suited the scenes, in which they would be heard, and keen to get the ideas in which inspired the film. Richard was always on time with his deadlines for when we needed the music, and always kept us updated on the stage he was at in the process. He was consistently available when trying to contact him and would take feedback well from myself on what extra was needed. Extremely talented in being able to convey emotion and tension throughout his music
— Cameron Strachan (Filmmaker, Cinema LTD)
Watcher In The Woods (Film Score): This sounds really good, music is sounding great! Thank you so much!
— Felix Bird (How I Met Your Mother)
Demonologist For Hire (Online TV Score): I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your score for the Exorcism For Beginners episode.  We were hoping to attract a composer whose score would elevate the episode up above the high bar we set for ourselves with the first season and I think you've definitely done that! I've had across the bar raves from people I know for the season two opener and your score played a huge part in making that happen! Thanks again for all your hard work, I'm already looking forward to what you can do with future episodes!
— Bryn Owen, Executive Producer
Wild Is The North (Film Score): I can't rate Richard high enough or thank him enough for providing the music to short film I wrote called 'Wild is the North’. Richard has a gift of getting the audience into the scene of the film through his audio skills which is quite remarkable. If you're thinking about hiring someone to do any type of music for a film or tv project, Richard Hunter wont disappoint you. Very level headed lad too. Great Guy.
— Bobby Robertson (Producer and Writer) and Kamil Lemieszewski (Executive Producer, Eternity World Film Production)
Watcher In The Woods (Film Score): I really like the fairground carousel music! Can’t wait to see it to picture during post.
— Paula Hart (President, Hartbreak Films Inc, Lifetime Network)
Legends Of The Brawl & Blunderbusted: I've known Richard for about 3 years, but it only took about 3 minutes to recognize his talents. We brought him on as our studio's composer and he immediately made an indelible mark to improve our game through its musical identity. He's a gifted musician who really knows his craft. He fulfilled our briefs easily, nailing the concepts off the bat each time, and polishing every piece to perfection with minimal iterations required. He easily understands what's needed with a masterful knowledge of music theory, and a great technical ability. He cranked out a complicated multi stem layered looping combat music system to our specifications and just totally nailed it. Personally, Richard is a great guy. He's warm and friendly, has a great sense of humor, and is the type of guy you're always happy to have on the team. He has a strong work ethic, is reliable and self-motivated, and is not only fast, but very creative. I couldn't recommend him strongly enough.
