Having known Hélène for many years now, I'd say
that I'm delirious with happiness that the rest
of the world will finally get to realize just
what a wonderful composer she is. I'm always
struck by the horrifying coincidence that almost
all film and TV composers are middle-aged, specky
men and it's always wonderful to see the mold
being broken by as talented a person as
Hélène.  Her score to SKIN was a wonderful
opportunity for the filmmakers to utilize
Hélène's talents as a thoughtful and massively
energetic collaborator. And the film is
transformed by the quality of the score. She has
an ear for great melodic invention but also
arranges and orchestrates her music with an eye
to cinematic efficiency.   Hélène now holds a
unique position as someone who can finally rid us
of some of the more stubborn of our industry's
clichés.

World-wide Praise for Hélène Muddiman and her
score for the movie SKIN

• "I first met the multi-talented Hélène back in
  the early 1990s in London, as a result of my
  quest to unearth new musical talent who would be
  up for composing for a music production company
  that I occasionally produced for.
• Hélène was a rare find! Her extraordinary
  musicianship was as clear as day, and coupled
  with her truly infectious enthusiasm and love for
  all sorts of music, meant that she was a natural
  fit and was put to work immediately.
• The title that we came up with for the album of
  Muddiman compositions that quickly followed was
  "Quirky Curious"! Which nearly says it all. But
  not quite. Whilst Hélène's film music has since
  built on her obvious gift for utilizing colorful
  interesting instrumentation to great effect, it
  is with her recent score to SKIN that an
  emotional and serious voice can be heard,
  providing the heart and soul of the movie. Quite
  a discovery!

Hélènes talent is so obvious its nearly
impossible not to recognize it immediately. She
is an extremely exciting new addition to the LA
film music scene. Her success is inevitable.

I am absolutely delighted that Hélène has been
nominated for the World Soundtrack Awards
Discovery of the Year. She is a prodigious
talent with some amazing achievements to date,
including most recently being nominated for an
Ivor Novello award at last years ceremony in
London. Hélène embodies all of the attributes of
a world-class composer/songwriter, and quite
apart from that, she is a first class human
being!  I cannot think of a more worthy recipient
for this award.

-Rakesh Sanghvi, Sony

"Hélène Muddiman's score for SKIN is nothing
short of miraculous on our shoestring budget,
she not only composed but single-handedly
orchestrated and performed on most tracks, hired
countless musicians, printed out parts and
organized the orchestral and vocal recording
sessions in every corner of the globe, track-laid
and mixed... Her level of commitment and
dedication is unstinting - and the results are a
triumph with great delicacy and imagination, she
created a sound-world that beautifully reflects
the drama and emotion of every scene and
character, subtly changing our perceptions of
race and gender through her choice of Western and
African musicians and instruments."


-Anthony Fabian, Director SKIN

• I discovered Hélène and her work for myself
  several years now and am delighted that she has
  been similarly discovered by the WSA. Great
  talent has habit of being discovered and Hélènes
  internationally acclaimed score the for the movie
  SKIN had undoubtedly played a huge part in
  bringing her work to a larger audience.
• It's incredibly important that we have a female
  voice working in the movie industry, aside from
  Rachel Portman and Anne Dudley, you would be hard
  pressed to name a female composer in a sea of men
  doing the same job. Hélènes talent will
  undoubtedly add something special to any movie
  she works on and I look forward to hearing
  whatever she comes up with next.
