He picked up the accolade at a ceremony in Glasgow for his score to Walther Ruttmann’s 1921 film Lichtspiel: Opus I.

The piece was written with a modern quintet in mind, and utilised visual music apps for the iPhone including Tenori-on, Bloom and modAxis, alongside guitar and the remodelled Korg ARP synthesizer.

Each year, BAFTA Scotland celebrates and rewards the diverse array of up-and-coming talent working within Scotland’s moving image industries.

The New Talent Awards of 2015 featured 39 nominees from across the country. Judging panels made up of industry professionals considered hundreds of entries to decide the shortlist and winners for each of the 14 categories.

Other shortlisters in the PRS for Music sponsored Composer category included Amin Keshmiri (for The Scribbler) and Alia E Torrie (for When the Tide Comes In).
