After premiering in Adelaide in 2007, releasing the Original Cast Recording, being optioned by UK producer Tony Green, lading to a workshop and performance in London, and now winning a prestigious AWGIE, it’s been a huge 12 months for EF.
“What’s really great about the award” says Sean “is that it’s a peer judged award, and it only takes into account the book and lyrics for the show. So even though most of my work tends to be composing, it’s really nice to be recognised for my writing. “

Following on from Dry Spell Gardening, I was invited to do the music for a new cooking show called “4 Ingredients” which will shortly premiere on Foxtel’s new HD channels. This was a great fun project, and the first time I’ve mixed in surround.
4 Ingredients follows on from the hugely successful book of the same name, and shows simple easy recipies not only in the kitchen, but for life itself.
I had a ball on the music which was a kind of indie acoustic girlie pop thing. I pulled in old friends Randall Waller and Kath Ellis , and I’m really stoked with how the tracks turned out. You can check them out on Lifestyle Channel from September.
