Gregor Philp has over 20 years experience in composition, production and live performance. He established Giga Music Productions in 1997 and since then his work has encompassed children’s television, dramas, feature films and more recently computer games.
Providing 35 songs for the hit pre-school show ‘Balamory’ and the music for the adventure quiz ‘Spook Squad’ (BBC1), Gregor is perhaps best known for his children’s TV music. However, Giga covers a wide range of entertainment and recent projects include: Leonard, an award-winning short film starring Dennis Lawson, Taggart, two 60 min episodes and a feature length film, and Young Adam (with David Byrne), a feature film starring Ewan McGregor.
Giga Music also works within the games sector, recently producing interactive music for two PlayStation 2 titles for Midway and Namco along with 7 mobile phone game titles.
With a strong love of music from an early age, Gregor has studied all musical genres. A working musician for two decades, Gregor now has his own 5.1 surround sound production studio. More recently Gregor has completed an album with Andrew Mitchell from the Hazey Janes, called Heavy Little Elephant.
Gregor has recently branched out into the games sector with its most challenging projects to date, composing and recording interactive music, which evolves with characters and environments, for two PlayStation 2 titles for Midway and Namco.
Gregor comments: ‘Apart form the creative and production side of the music there has been a heavy technical side as well, with the use of custom built software tools from the developers to create the immersive nature of the music.”
With a deep love of music from an early age, Gregor studied all musical genres and was a working musicians for 20 years, Gregor now has his own fully equipped 5.1 surround sound production studio.
