Danny Hahn
Composer and Sound Designer, Director of NeoKitsch, the online multi-arts centre.
Summary
Recently turned film director, Danny Hahn is a British born Composer, Sound Designer and Arts Manager.
“I run NeoKitsch, the ‘online multi-arts centre’ and its production studio. My colleagues are a growing team of creative professionals. Together, we set the bar for standards in art and entertainment – online and at festivals. The output of work over the last year alone has produced the likes of symphonic works, feature films, art exhibitions, concerts, philosophy books, animations, documentaries and several music albums.
My specialist field is in sound design and musical composition for feature film. Due for release in cinemas worldwide is the film And White Was The Night, in which I collaborated closely with the director. Having taught film studies and screenplay writing for over a decade at various colleges and institutions, I consequently combine the intricate principles of story with my music composition.
Recently I worked for 8 months on a large budget feature film as Composer and Sound Designer for Finnish director, Mika Rantonen and the company Uphill Films. I was responsible for delivering and managing all aspects of audio, including voice-over dubbing, Foley, location recording and mastering. Currently, I am representing the film and my work on NeoKitsch and at various film festivals, including Berlinale and Cannes. Please visit the NeoKitsch Blog for updates on release dates, distribution and festivals.
2012 will be an exciting development in my career, where I will work abroad and at the NeoKitsch studio with my team on two new feature films, collaborating with orchestras, directors and international festivals. Details to follow with regular updates on www.neokitsch.com”
