“I’ve worked with Gabriel on two award winning short films and would get him for any other upcoming project in a heartbeat. He is a fantastic composer who can take the concept, the feel, the vision of the film and transform it into a score that carries the story and ties it all up together. I had a lot of fun talking through ideas with him going through iterations, and I always loved what he would come up with. If you have the chance to get Gabriel on your project. Do it.”
“Gabriel has scored multiple short films that I have worked on and, regardless of style, has produced work which is vibrant, characterful and refined. Gabriel is a real joy to work with and is great at both understanding, innovating and executing your creative brief. He communicates with great professionalism and always goes above and beyond the brief to bring you something truly unique and special. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any project!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gabriel on my debut documentary film, “Becoming, Being Mom”, last year. Despite this having been my first film, I had a clear vision of how I wanted the film’s music to sound and compliment the story, and Gabriel simply knocked it out of the park in bringing that vision to life. From our first meeting up until the final export, Gabriel was always communicative and eager to make sure the final product matched my hopes. Upon my film’s release and its festival circuit, the amount of people that have voiced how much they’ve enjoyed the score is a true testament to Gabriel’s craft and work ethic. A process that could easily be so stressful, Gabriel made a breeze, and I truly couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a way to incorporate music or sound into their next project.”
“Working with Gabriel was as pleasant and as straight forward an experience as one could ask for. He was easy to communicate with and managed to deliver top-notch and punctual material despite his busy schedule at the time. I had given Gabriel some pre-existing references to give him an idea as to what sort of tone and feeling I wanted from the music, which he managed to re-capture in his own work whilst producing something original at the same time. He has continued to be supportive of my project after its release and I would highly consider working with him again in the future.”
“Gabriel worked on our animated short documentary to produce a beautifully composed soundtrack to accompany a narration. Through his understanding of the scripting & our suggestions on the type of audio we had imagined, he shared a list of reference pieces for us to discuss. From this, he created a charming score telling the story in time with the visuals, in half the time we had expected it. His love for what he does really shines in his work, I would recommend him with confidence!”
“This collaboration was really lovely. He understood exactly what kind of mood I wanted to portray and added his own little flourishes to bring out the personality of each character. Would love to work together again!”
“I was recommended Gabriel to compose audio for a short film and immediately in our first conversation, I knew the music was in good hands. We were vague with our requirements, but he kept spitballing great ideas and knew how to adapt his work to our needs. I would definitely recommend Gabriel to anyone, not only for the amazing work he produces, but also for the experience of working with a professional and passionate artist.”
“It was absolutely amazing to work with Gabriel from start to finish! He remained incredibly professional and understanding throughout even when I was unresponsive to messages. Genius composer and awesome dude in general – the work speaks for itself, really. Can’t wait to work with Gabriel again, thanks so much!!”
“I met Gabriel Ness at the Aesthetica Film Festival in York during my first year of university as a film major. We traded details in promise of potential future collaboration, as one is meant to do at these events–networking. These things rarely come to fruition, but in this case, Gabriel and I ended up working together on the first film I did for uni. I needed a score for thing, but couldn’t find a piece of music that really fit it well until Gabriel did the score for it. He found a way to emphasize the darkness and insanity of the characters, the sounds of the music mingling with the background track as it built up in intensity for the climax. It was a great experience working with him, and I learnt a lot about the importance of the score in relation to those moving images after the film was done and it was time to move on to something else.”
“A pleasure to work with, very quick turnaround and accurate to the brief given. Hope to collaborate again soon”
