It is a pleasure working with John Stanley. John has an amazing ability to craft huge orchestral arrangements in surprisingly short timeframes. John’s work is always precise, high quality and extremely dynamic. Having worked with Hans Zimmer, I can say with the utmost confidence that John is well on his way to establishing his own sound and making his own place in The Who’s Who of composers!

…this orchestration that you’ve composed, it was really spectacular to create too. Your score is filled with depth, stunningly beautiful and moving which is everything I look for in a piece.
