Yonda Music is the brainchild of Dan Hewson and Jonny Phillips, highly experienced composers, producers and performers combining their skills to create beautifully crafted music with a fresh perspective, mixing classical, jazz and world music, combining acoustic instruments with cutting-edge electronic sounds.
“without his dedication, his patience, his openness and inventiveness, his sensitivity to both music and drama, his breadth of musical understanding and his attention to detail, I can’t imagine how we could have arrived at anything like the layered, intelligent, sophisticated and unique score we achieved, so finely in sync with the story and the characters. I can’t recommend Yonda Music highly enough.” – David Walter Hall – Screenwriter and Director
Jonny composed the score the feature film “Passing Through” by Irish director David Walter Hall, it’s being premiered at Belfast International Film Festival in November 2022.
