Songwriting
and Composing

“Bridie’s contribution has elevated every commission she has worked on with CaroleW Productions whether

a digital or live performance.  Her sensitivity, attention to detail and understanding of what her compositions bring to the whole narrative is valued and appreciated” - Carol Wears, CaroleW Productions, Theatre and Production Company


Bridie is a talented and versatile composer, songwriter, producer and sound artist, well known for her innovative use of voice and vocal harmonies. She is regularly commissioned to write new music for choirs and has composed and produced bespoke musical scores for Theatre, Opera and Film for a range of companies, including Theatre Hullabaloo and CW Productions.
 

As a sound artist she creates immersive, site specific pieces that aim to uncover unheard stories through combining different sound elements including original music, recorded interviews and archive footage. Her most recent piece, ‘Bees, Bees, Hark to Your Bees’ is showing at Woodhorn Museums as part of the exhibition series, A Northumberland Menagerie, by visual artist Bethan Madocks, commissioned by Museums Northumberland.
