Aaron Buckley has been exploring his musical voice as a composer since 2013, experimenting with different sounds and flavours and playing with that symbiotic relationship between music and picture across a number of short films and a feature film ("Sasquatch"). As a fully self-taught composer, he's found himself influenced by the likes of Max Richter, Yann Tiersen, Philip Glass, Bear McCreary and Trevor Morris. And whilst film has been his gateway into the world of composing music, it’s also leading him into other realms, such as writing for theatre and choreographed dance. He's even had the pleasure of recording a score for piano and harp at the SAE Institute in London, for the award winning short film, "Cumulus", that also won Best Music at the British Animation Film Festival 2019 in Leicester Square, London. In 2018, Buckley decided to celebrate his journey into life as a composer by bringing together works representing his personal evolution, into his first album, aptly named, Journey. His new single As to the Wind was composed for a short poignant film of the same name, about a man dealing with grief.
