A student on the FdA Music Production course| at UCS Bury St Edmunds has been working on the score for a film that deals with the subject of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Sebastian Younger-Watson (known professionally as Damian Ulysses) is releasing a single from the soundtrack online and will give any profits to the UK Multiple Sclerosis Society charity fund.
The film, 'The Runner', was directed by Robbie Goodman.
Damian aims to place the MS soundtrack album on two websites, Zimbalam and iTunes, in August. The single will be distributed through iTunes and Pledge Music. Any profits made from the single, as well as a share of the profits from the album, will be given to the MS Society charity fund.
Damian, who lives in Ipswich, said: “Currently I'm close to finishing the composition of another film soundtrack score. The film, 'The Unfoldment', was directed by Jonathan Day who is studying visual media at the UCS Great Yarmouth campus.”
Damian has been taking a gap year to work on a collaborative album with the producer of an independent label in New York, Ray Buttigieg. The album is called 'Promised Land or Armageddon', under the band title 'System 6'. It has recently been released on amazon.com
