Ros and I worked together on the HBO Original Series Folklore (S2, Grandma's Kiss). Ros didn't just write arrangements but with his beautifully composed pieces created the soul of the show. Ros treats music like a universal language and his strong musicality and knowledge brought the narrative to the next level.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ros on my latest film. Our schedule was very tight, while my standards as a director were especially high for that particular film. Ros showed an amazing level of professionalism as both composer and producer, delivering fantastic results on time. So I'm definitely looking forward to collaborating with Ros in the future!

Ros composed and produced music for my short film “The Arrival”. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. From the beginning, I felt Ros grasped the emotional arc of the story very quickly and really understood what I wanted the music to convey. He was very responsive to notes and feedback, which allowed for great communication. Ros composed a beautiful piece of music that really elevated the emotions within the scene. I highly recommend working with him.

Writer & Director (BBC Doctor Who)

Dorothee Lepine

I have had the pleasure of knowing Ros since 2014. We worked together on my last TV documentary and it was such a pleasure! As a documentary film maker for television, it is rare to ask a composer to create original music as production times are too short. Although the editing was really tight, I never felt it would be a problem for Ros. Extremely reliable and hard-working, he was always able to understand our expectations with great kindness and with a positive attitude. As a result, Ros’ music made the documentary stronger. I look forward to collaborating with him again in the future.

Writer & Documentary Director (ARTE, France 5)

Over the past years, Ros has done the orchestrations for our 'Rosamunde Pilcher' television features, which to date are among the most popular films in German television history. Ros is a very creative, reliable and dedicated musician, who approached each of our films in a highly professional manner, always met our deadlines and consistently delivered excellent work. It's a pleasure working with Ros and we would strongly recommend him as a valuable member of any film or TV production team.

Scoring Mixer (Outlander, The Walking Dead)

This was my first collaboration with a film composer. Together with Ros, we were able to find the right mood and position accents in all the right places. As a result, the music succinctly completed the picture and has become an indispensable part of the film. Ros is mindful of the director’s thoughts and understands the story, which is very important.

Award-Winning Director

Alasdair Mackay

Music is such a key part of the story-telling process - it can make all the difference if it is on point, When working on my film "Motherhood", Ros worked incredibly hard to understand what the message was and then took complete responsibility for executing the score to the highest standard. He is an absolute pleasure to work with - talented, dedicated and alive with creative passion for his craft.

Film Director, Writer

Alexander Mair

Every film production has it's unique challenges. For that reason I had to constantly change composers. Since Ros was extremely reliable after our second orchestral collaboration, I thought I would let him have a shot at a completely different genre - death metal. It was not until then that his genius became clear to me, and I now want to never miss him at any of my production again! I look forward to a mutual professional career a la Spielberg / Williams ! Thank you, Ros for your magnificent work ! Chapeau!
