Angry Birds Stella

Following on from my work on Angry Birds Toons, I was asked by Rovio to compose the music for their spin-off, Stella. As well as scoring the animated series, I created the soundtrack to the popular mobile game Angry Birds Pop!

The action takes place on Golden Island, somewhere in Pacific, where Stella and her friends hang out. There are constant skirmishes with Princess Gale, once Stella’s best friend and now a vain, power-crazed tyrant, with her army of minion pigs.

As with Angry Birds Toons, it was great fun to score, with fast paced action, lots of humour and some fantastic animation. All the characters have distinct personalities (and musical themes) of their own. There’s no dialogue at all, so the music has to work hard to convey the emotions and humour of the story. The music is really eclectic and varied but there are some instruments I kept coming back to. I found an awesome Suzuki Andes flute and some crazy bamboo boomwhackers which gave the score an anarchic, Pacific vibe.

The soundtrack to Angry Birds Pop (which includes many of the main themes from the Stella series is on Spotify, iTunes (US), Amazon Music (UK), and elsewhere.
