Jeremy Mayall
- Composer
- Sound Department
- Actor
Born (November 1983) and raised in Hamilton, New Zealand, Jeremy was
schooled in music from age 5 playing piano, through to Hamilton Boys
High School with touring Fiji, Noumea and Vanuatu singing and playing
drums in a Jazz Band. He then moved on to Waikato University to study
for a Bachelor of Arts (Hons), majoring in Music, and has just
completed a Masters degree, majoring in composition. For both his
Honours and Masters years he has received a Sir Edmund Hillary
Scholarship.
His music covers almost all genres, including solo and chamber music,
orchestral music, music for theatre and film, pop, hip-hop, jazz, as
well as electro-acoustic music. His pieces always tend to look for a
new form of expression, whether through turntables in an orchestra, to
live electro-acoustic music for electric bass and turntables, to
kitchen utensils as musical instruments. A fascination with Hip Hop
music and culture, as well as the historical interest in many other
musical forms (Jazz, Soul, Funk) and his interest in Film, has been a
strong influence on his music.
He has scored a number of films ranging in style from film noir,
romance, horror and even documentaries. But not only has he worked on
the music for film, he has also worked on lighting design, acting,
producing, and also recently co-directed his first short film "Late
Night Specials" - a surrealist fantasy set in the supermarket.
At the age of 20 he wrote his first symphony - Symphony No.1 for
orchestra and turntables, and also released his first album through his
production and pop music identity of ONE FAT MAN. The album 'a typical
day in suburbia' has received excellent reviews and the buzz is
starting to spread. It features styles that span the musical continuum
from jazz to pop, to soul and hip hop. His most recent projects are: a
Concerto for Electric Bass; a musical; scoring several films (shorts
and features); writing, recording and producing the album 'They no
longer sleep alone' by ...howard; and hopefully to begin working on an
opera.
