Emotion Meets Creativity

Our Story

Michael Coltham from Black Lab Music sitting on a bench with his kids

Welcome to Black Lab Music, where passion meets creativity.

 

As a composer, I am dedicated to producing original, beautiful, and emotional music that will leave a lasting impression.

 

My love for music is only rivalled by my love for family and dogs, and I strive to bring that same level of passion and dedication to each project that I work on. 

Hi, I'm Michael.....and I'm The Emotional Music Guy at Black Lab Music

 

I am a Media Composer and Music Producer specializing in composing emotion through the medium of music. I take people on a transformational journey, engaging them in the story in a way that creates strong emotional bonds.

 

Because without the emotional music, Jaws was just another hungry fish.


I compose music for use within the media, creatively collaborating with Videographers, Filmmakers and Podcasters to tell unique stories and ensure that the audience connects with the emotional intent in a way that creates a lasting impression.

Music has the unparalleled ability to take all our joy and all our pain, condense it into a single moment & then enable us to relive that moment without any of the consequences.
 

It is the vehicle that enables a complex set of interactions between the subjective & objective, effecting our emotions, with the ability to change our mood & behaviour.
 

Music is the simple communication of complex emotion.

​

Every frame tells a unique story and so does every note. Bespoke music gives you control of every aspect of your creative vision, preventing the inevitable compromise of library/Royalty Free music. Bespoke music always stands tall.

Our music has been used for multiple clients including the British Olympic Rowing Team and TESLA.

​

As Dan Ford, Story Screen Ltd puts it....

 

"Michael provides a fantastic service to videographers like me.

 

The added value bespoke music gives to my video projects is massive, and Michael has a great understanding of emotional beats and storytelling.

 

His work heightens dramatic sequences and lends depth to more prosaic pieces.

 

Plus he's a great collaborator, keen to work out together what the work needs."

So why Black Lab Music? It's simple really. I have a Black Lab called Maya. She is exciting yet reliable and adventurous yet dependable…. everything we seek to be in working with you.

​

I look forward to connecting with you

​

God Bless
