MUSIC

TV/FILM COMPOSER, OCCASIONAL COMEDY SONGWRITER & ELECTRONIC NON-MUSICIAN LIST OF CREDITS

My name is Waen Shepherd and I make music. I can’t play an instrument, I don’t have any formal training and I didn’t start doing it till I was 27, but somehow I’ve still managed to forge a tiny career writing and recording music for TV, radio, film and theatre. I don’t do it all the time. I’m not doing it right now. But I’ve done it before and I’ll probably do it again. Over the past few years, I’ve written theme tunes and incidental scores for a number of TV series including Crackanory (Dave), Action Team (ITV2), Intruder (Channel 5) and the BAFTA-winning Murder in Successville (BBC3/BBC1), radio series such as Danny Robins Music Therapy (BBC Radio 4) and The Day The Music Died (BBC Radio 2), critically acclaimed shorts The Monster and The Baron, and Gareth Tunley’s BAFTA-nominated feature film The Ghoul. I’ve also released a number of comedy albums under the name Gary Le Strange, which you can buy from places like iTunes and Amazon, if you’re feeling generous. Polaroid Suitcase (2003) is the one everyone seems to like but Beef Scarecrow (2006) is my personal favourite.
