Music for a Body Art Convention DVD

This one caught me out a little. Scottish director Fraser Coull asked if I would write the music for a Scottish Tattoo DVD. My word association went something like: Scottish Tattoo; Military Tattoo; Celtic and Orchestral sounds - yeah, count me in.

It turned out to be a DVD about a convention of Scottish tattoos. So instead of celtic, orchestral sounds - it was hard rock, but hey, it's all music.

...but I'll admit to learning a thing or two, watching that video - having led a relatively sheltered and pain-free life, I hadn't come across much in the way of body art.
