Rhian Sheehan

Rhian Sheehan is a New Zealand composer and producer born in Nelson and now based in Wellington.

Sheehan released his debut album Paradigm Shift in 2001. The album was released in the U.K almost two years later in 2003, and received praise from music critics. Sheehan was named "The Next Big Thing" in 2004 by U.K's Future Music Magazine. He has since released five albums and two EP's. His 2009 album Standing in Silence, 2011 EP Seven Tales of The North Wind and 2013's long player Stories From Elsewhere are a step away from his earlier ‘electronica' work into more of a shoegaze and post-rock ambient experimental direction.

Sheehan’s work has featured on variety of CD compilations, most notably the multi-platinum selling Cafe del Mar CD compilations (vol 10 & 11). Sheehan's music has been heard on BBC's Top Gear, as well as The Discovery Channel, the National Geographic channel, and the HBO series Silicon Valley (TV series). His music has also been used in a variety of advertising, having written music for Google, Facebook, Nike and GoPro commercials. In 2009 he composed the soundtrack to the British National Space Centre's We Are Astronomers, a 360° Full Dome Film (narrated by David Tennant), and has been seen by an estimated one million people. In 2009 Sheehan composed the score to the 13-part prime-time TV drama series The Cult, (for which he was awarded a Qantas Film & TV Award for best original score) and the Emmy Award winning web-series Reservoir Hill. [1] In 2012 Sheehan wrote the score for the UK 3D Planetarium documentary film "We Are Aliens" (narrated by Rupert Grint).

In July 2012 Japan's Preco Records released his most recent albums "Standing in Silence" & "Seven Tales of The North Wind" together as a limited edition double box-set that includes bonus material, including the remix of "Borrowing The Past" by American post-rock ambient luminaries "Hammock (band)".
