Testimonials

"I can't rate Richard high enough or thank him enough for providing the music to short film I wrote called 'Wild is the North’. Richard has a gift of getting the audience into the scene of the film through his audio skills which is quite remarkable. If you're thinking about hiring someone to do any type of music for a film or tv project, Richard Hunter wont disappoint you. Very level headed lad too. Great Guy."
— Bobby Robertson (Multi Award Winning Actor and Author)
"I've known Richard for about 3 years, but it only took about 3 minutes to recognize his talents. We brought him on as our studio's composer and he immediately made an indelible mark to improve our game through its musical identity. He's a gifted musician who really knows his craft. He fulfilled our briefs easily, nailing the concepts off the bat each time, and polishing every piece to perfection with minimal iterations required. He easily understands what's needed with a masterful knowledge of music theory, and a great technical ability. He cranked out a complicated multi stem layered looping combat music system to our specifications and just totally nailed it. Personally, Richard is a great guy. He's warm and friendly, has a great sense of humor, and is the type of guy you're always happy to have on the team. He has a strong work ethic, is reliable and self-motivated, and is not only fast, but very creative. I couldn't recommend him strongly enough."

"Exceptional! Love how you opened with a fun rollicking cinema theme and then gradually brought in darker notes as the Diesels are seen. The "industrial" elements were very well done as well and a great new sound for us."
— Eric De Cordova (Thomas & Friends, Director and Producer, Driver Digital)
“The track sounds GREAT...thank you! The foreboding sound mixed with the orchestra is PERFECT for the sense of reality of the situation. It's super well balanced. I really like the way you're transition these sections. It's the right atmosphere. It's tough to get the balance of melancholy and slight sadness without being too miserable with it :) Love it!"
— Adam Oliver (Where Is My Penguin?, Director, Writer and Lead Animator)
