It&#8217;s with Media Monks that Brook located to New York.

So it was exciting to hear that he was releasing an album, &#8216;Scores&#8217;;\u00a0a fusion of orchestral, electric and acoustic guitar, and electronica. There are no two tracks the same on this album.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The nine track album features tunes with alluring titles: &#8216;Arc&#8217;, &#8216;Destroying Angels&#8217;, &#8216;House Of Cards&#8217; &#8211; it&#8217;s this third one we like best of all &#8211; it reminds us of the film, &#8216;Bladerunner&#8217;, with its electronica and bass guitar sounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F165758348&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;visual=true&#038;show_comments=true&#038;color=false&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other tunes, like fourth track, &#8216;Please Don&#8217;t Go&#8217;,\u00a0sound on the surface like simple film score pieces, but there&#8217;s something more there, there&#8217;s some faint electronic buzzing underneath.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brook Downton draws inspiration from the likes of Harry Gregson-Williams, composer of &#8216;The Martian&#8217; soundtrack, and electronic music band, M83, but at the same time he imbues his music with a quality all of his own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Scores&#8217; is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/na\/album\/scores\/id1032192632\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>, and was written and recorded by Brook Downton in Manhattan.
