Neil Murphy created this poetical and inspiring film alone at home while he was in quarantine in Spain. Doing the music for this short film was one of the most beautiful things that happened to me in these tough times. I hope that you can enjoy this wonderful work!

I’m really happy to present my new album in Spotify and iTunes; the soundtrack from the horror short film “Sitter”. (a short film directed by Santiago Arcos.)
It was a pleasure to experiment with the crazy sounds of this music and recording it with 5 violins: Montserrat Boira, Mireia Costa, David Manresa, Edward Powell and myself. And also with the voice of Raquel Lúa.
Among other sounds that I created and recorded, the one that gives to this soundtrack a very creepy coloration is the recording of a very old and detuned piano that I found while I was composing this music.
I hope that you can enjoy this music, and maybe have some scary emotions!
From a Catalan Melody “La Dama de Mallorca”, arranged and harmonized for mixed choir. In this version I recorded myself with a Viola d’Amore, melding the sound of this beautiful and ancient instrument with the modal harmony of the arrangement. It is accompanied by a poetic video of little details from Stockholm that inspire me and I find them very related to the sound of this harmonization.
