Nathan McCree


 

Nathan McCree began his career in the computer games industry where he was heralded as one of the best composers in the industry for his work as composer and sound designer on Tomb Raider, the highest selling video game series of all time. Tomb Raider III has long been regarded as the "best sounding computer game to date" and Nathan's work on the SEGA game Asterix and the Power of the Gods earned the accolade "Best Computer Game Music Ever!"

Since then his talents have enabled him to work across all genres of the music industry, working with high profile names such as The Spice Girls and mobile giants Orange and 3 Mobile.

Recent projects include the theme tune and incidental music for the second series of Cops with Cameras for Granada Television, the music for ‘Jetix’ a new children’s animation channel for Smithereen, music for Monkey Business broadcast on Sky’s Animal Planet and the animation Waterlollies which is proving to be one of the fastest downloaded animated films of this year! The film is directed by Adam Phillips and can be viewed at www.biteycastle.com.

For film, projects include composing and producing the music soundtrack for the London 2012 Olympics brand film and the film score for Let it Rock which appeared as a finalist at the Berlin Film Festival.

Aside from Nathan’s work in TV, film, games and animation, McCree Music Ltd also delivers specialist music, sound design and production services for live events. In this field McCree’s most recent work includes a nine hour music and sound effects choreographed live performance at Blenheim Palace’s Fly To The Past air show in August 2007 and 2005. Nathan also orchestrated and showcased some of the most memorable Tomb Raider music for Video Games Live, a concert tour which launched on July 6th 2005 with the LA Philharmonic playing performances across 24 North American Cities and is now on its European tour being played by the English National Ballet Symphony Orchestra in London.
