Composer for film, series and games · London

Music for stories that take their time.

I’m Halden Rue. I write scores for directors and game studios who want music that sits inside the picture, not on top of it. Strings, piano, voice and a lot of quiet.

“Halden heard the film before we had finished cutting it. The music told us which scenes we didn’t need.”

Mara Ellison, director of The Quiet Hours

Spotting

Spotting

We watch the cut together and decide where music starts, where it stops, and what each cue has to do.

Writing

Writing

Mock-ups for every cue, shared on a private review page so notes stay tied to timecode.

Recording and mix

Recording and mix

Live players where it matters, a final mix in stereo and 5.1, and stems for your editor.
