Golding & Associates

Fronted by internationally acclaimed composer Christopher Elves and equally talented Sound designer/mixer Dale Warren, Golding & Associates offers a unique, integrated approach to all aspects of sound for film and television. From early concepts through to the most rigorous delivery requirements, G&A provides a service that always puts the power of what happens on screen front and centre.

By staying boutique, focussed and very smart, G& A have acquired a massive reputation for high-end, A-list standard work, work which has garnered huge praise from within the industry, together with a room full of awards and accolades from all corners of the globe. At the same time they have managed to maintain highly personal and committed creative relationships with all their clients, even when separated by continents, something both Christopher and Dale feel is vital to create the ultimate synergy between sound and picture, between a director's vision and the finished piece.

Key Personnel

Christopher Elves

Christopher Elves Score composer, Music Supervisor, Creative Supervisor

Recognised as one of Australia's leading international screen composers, Christopher is renowned for his ability to score truly "filmic" music for television as well as film. His ability to compose everything from a simple emotive piano motif through to sweeping epic action score, all in a manner that welds seamlessly to the nuances of character and narrative, has led to no fewer than six coveted Apra/AGSC Screen Music Awards over the last seven years.

In 2009 Christopher was recognised internationally for his outstanding score for the animated series "Animalia" with an Emmy in the category Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition.

In 2010 Christopher's prolific output was further rewarded with two nominations for the Apra/AGSC awards, one of which recognised him as one of the top four most performed Australian screen composers in the World. 2011 saw him win the Apra/AGSC award for Childrens' television for K9, a spin-off from the popular Doctor Who franchise, for an unprecedented third time.

In 2012, as well as writing minimalist score for the SBS mini series "Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta", his haunting piano score featured in the Tropfest short-listed film "My Beautiful Departed". In sharp contrast he also scored the deliciously whimsical orchestral score for "The Tooth Demon". "Cabramatta" went on top win Christopher an AACTA nomination for "Best Sound in a Documentary".

Most recently Christopher scored the short film "Great Adventures", which is now storming through the US film festivals to great acclaim.

Currently Christopher is scoring a new international animated TV series called "SheZow".
