Great Jim. That’s a go for the title music. Nice one.

Brilliant Jim. I’m real impressed at the speed your working at here. I’ve got nothing but good things to say to people asking about this score.

Masterpiece Jim. I’m becoming a fan mate. Well scary. And cinematic, you’ve a talent for this alright.

Woh Jim. Have you got some new samples or have you forked out for an orchestra. That was incredible. I love the swooping string thing.

Fantastic. Jim you da man. Loved it! The low strings sounded like the real thing Jim, and the start was fantastic with the huge build. First rate score here mate.

The actual tune as well was worthy of a Bond movie or something. Great Jim you’ve excelled yourself with this. Really inventive and so bloody different to anything out in recent years.

I thought it was reserved at first Jim. But when I put it on the footage as a test run it worked great. Not too over the top and works the footage just right.

That was a real interesting collection of pieces Jim. Movie scores seem to be your thing. 🙂 Ok. Send her through.

Love the way it sits on the film Jim, your going places Jim. Spectacular.

One thing the guitar. Love that keep everything as is.

Hi Jim,

I added all of your Foley work to the film and everything sounds great!

The sound design in the cage sequence works particulary well. The sound design in the pet shop scenes also makes a huge difference and really makes it feel like a pet shop.

Also thanks for mixing the cues so quickly.

Hi Jim,

I have received your tracks for: ‘Cafe 47’. They are excellent and just what we needed to push forward the various emotions and tones that are in the film.

I love how the music changes with the movement and cuts at the end of scenes. Also, the different styles, e.g in the time lapse scene the track has a bit of a samba feel to it.

I would like to say thank you so much for working with us and we are very grateful and I wish you all the best with the rest of your career.

Kind regards

Kristian (Kristian Tunnicliffe) Creator of short film ‘Cafe 47’ Services used: Music

All the best

Dear Jim,

Thanks for all your efforts, they are greatly appreciated. I think we have a great working relationship. My feelings on this were enforced after the compressing issues were worked out between us; without either of us complaining and getting short with each other. Having a nice working relationship with you has been amazing.

Keep up the good work!
