1. Film Scoring

François Evans combines state-of-the-art and vintage electronics with real orchestral instruments to compose and produce original scores tailored exactly to your film.

Based in London, he works from a studio with a unique collection of instruments and access to the top musicians and recording studios.

Scoring normally takes six to eight weeks.

La.M.P.'s vintage electronic instruments bring your film score a rich, timeless electronic and/or acoustic sound.

3. Composing Techniques

François sometimes uses spectral composition techniques in his music.

Back by demand is the extract from his concert work Repeal (Concerto for piano & electronics) which demonstrates one aspect of this technique:

François sometimes also uses 'silver age' 12-note techniques in composing. This is a similar approach to that used in scores by Jerry Goldsmith in Franklin Schaffner's Planet of the Apes (1968), Leonard Rosenmann in Richard Fleischer's Fantastic Voyage (1966), Jerry Fielding in Michael Winner's The Mechanic (1972) and Michael Small in Alan Pakula's The Parallax View (1974).
