Elliot Cowling

Hi I’m Elliot. I’m a Multimedia Composer, Actor and Writer. I have a BA (Hons) degree in Digital Film Production and Acting for Film and am currently part way through my Masters degree in Music Composition for Film, TV and Games.

I am a self taught pianist and guitarist with a background in music theory and a trained actor having performed in various forms of film and theatre.

I am fortunate to be blessed with perfect pitch and chromesthesia which is a form of synesthesia. This is where sound involuntarily evokes an experience of colour, shape and movement giving me a unique experience when composing music and an extra sense of what music is right for any particular project. This also allows me to transcribe music with ease.

I’m also an author of numerous short horror fiction stories, many of which have been acclaimed within the online horror community.

For the last 3 years, I have composed the soundtracks for a variety of media including a film that was nominated for Best Student Film at the Making Waves Film Festival in the UK.

My role as Sound Design Director at Atlantic Surf Radio is varied. This includes making the adverts, trailers and ‘sweepers’ between tracks, composing music beds and keeping up with the latest tech challenges that make Atlantic Surf Radio sound so cool.
