DOMINIC JOHNSON
Moving Music for the Moving Image
I’m Dom, and I write instrumental and vocal music for amazing media projects.
Whether for TV, advertising, film or games, I love setting a mood with a piece of music – stirring an audience into excitement with distorted slide guitar or bringing the tears with a melancholic song. I’m most at home with folk, rock, country and indie music, but have a wide variety of experience, with placements on Discovery Network and NBC.

Adventurous over 50s were the target market for this commercial for Newmarket Holidays. Shakers and exotic instruments make for an energetic and exciting backdrop for the perfect invitation to wanderlust.

This beautiful stop motion animation deserved music that really told its story – from the pensive pigeon who sees his restaurateur friend needing help, to the jubilation of a packed village square. To power the narrative, quirky music and strong use of FX were required.
