Film & TV Music Composer
British
composer Robin Hogarth began writing music for film in 1972 (initially for two
feature films - now for a much larger catalogue), and subsequently started
writing music for TV.
From 1987 he has wrote & produced the theme and incidental music for numerous South African TV series, and made for TV films.
These productions received local and international recognition (South African awards, as well as a New York Film Festival award).
They range from comedies to action thrillers, historical drama to modern dramas, covering a panorama of different musical styles.
Later film and TV music productions followed, from Anglia Survival to albums for film and television, now used all over the world - from Japan to Sweden, Korea to the USA:
