Sylvain Loiseau and John Hunter

are

The Bird Catchers

​

We have been collaborating and composing music for Film, TV, Adverts, and Immersive Media for many years.

​

We met in Los Angeles, moved to Paris. And the rest is history.

​

Our works have garnered: An Oscar, 5 Emmys and a Daytime Emmy Nomination (Outstanding Music Direction and Composition), 8 Clios,1 Cannes Lion, 9 Addys, 1 Webby Award and Nomination and numerous other festivals win.

 

​

Our unique approach

to creative writing spans many genres and styles. Sylvain Loiseau from the contemporary artist label direction and John Hunter from the multifaceted and technical world of scoring to picture... there is nothing we can't handle.

 

​

Together, we are Napoleon in Cowboy Boots, Iron man in a Citroen. But our friends call us,

THE BIRDCATCHERS.
