Deaf Teen, Hearing World

December 2011: We’ve been busy composing music for a BBC documentary called ‘Deaf Teen, Hearing World’. The hour-long film takes an insightful look into the world of young deaf people, challenging preconceived notions of what it means to have a disability.  Ultraviolet’s brief was to compose a score fusing music with sound design, conveying a sense of sonic isolation that hopefully brings us closer to the subjects of the film. Deaf Teen was directed by Claire Braden and produced by Century Films.

World’s Most Dangerous Roads is produced by Renegade Pictures and will be transmitted on BBC2 next month.
