As Producer, his work includes the world premiere of Aliens Live (James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi motion picture with live orchestra) in 2016, James Horner: A Life In Music in 2017 and Blade Runner Live (Ridley Scott’s 1982 noir sci-fi classic with live band) in 2019; all taking place at London's Royal Albert Hall.
