Dream Town Music is a leading international music production company co-founded by the award-winning composer Andrew Cottee and the award-winning music producer Tom Croxon. Dream Town Music understands the pivotal role that music plays in creating emotional connections, and is trusted for its creativity, expertise, and world-class music production.
‘In any creative endeavor, there are risks involved, and in music production, we only have a limited amount of time to produce unforgettable recordings. Tom Croxon delivers just that on all fronts: assembling outstanding musicians that make up the Dream Town Orchestra, bringing in the talented conductor/composer, Andrew Cottee, who delivers brilliant and fresh sounding arrangements and orchestrations and ultimately creating an utterly enjoyable collaboration with me and my project teams as a meticulous music producer.’ Matt Walker Sr. VP Music Los Angeles
Our collaborations with global entertainment companies – including Disney, Netflix, ZAG, BBC, RTÉ, NBCUniversal, 20th Century Studios, The Really Useful Group, Silverback Films and Universal Music Group – illustrate Dream Town Music’s reputation for musical excellence.
Music is at the centre of everything that we do: creating original music, arrangements and orchestrations, producing and project-managing recordings for feature films, TV, recording artists, theme park attractions, gaming, advertising campaigns, as well as our own productions for the concert hall. We partner with and make our resources available to eminent composers, recording artists, directors, producers, music supervisors, and recording teams.
We record at world famous recording studios including Abbey Road and Air Studios, and offer our musical expertise as contractors for the virtuoso Dream Town Orchestra, which features on movie soundtracks, theme park productions and record releases.
Dream Town Music has been invited by Disney to collaborate on multiple productions, most recently project-managing and co-producing the soundtrack recording of Andrew Cottee’s inspiring new arrangements for ‘Arendelle: The World of Frozen’, recorded by the Dream Town Orchestra for Hong Kong Disneyland. Dream Town Music was also asked to project-manage the soundtrack recording for Jeremy Zag’s 2023 feature animation ‘Miraculous – Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie’, recorded by the Dream Town Orchestra at Air Studios. The Dream Town Orchestra features on David Mitcham’s original score for Netflix’s forthcoming wildlife feature film ‘The Secret Lives of Orangutans’, narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
Andrew Cottee’s award-winning original music features on Seth MacFarlane’s TV show ‘The Orville’. Andrew has also arranged and conducted four studio albums for Seth MacFarlane including his 2023 Christmas CD with Elizabeth Gillies ‘We Wish You the Merriest’, recorded by the Dream Town Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. Dream Town Music’s own concert hall production, ‘Swingin Christmas’, has been broadcast on BBC Radio and performed at prestigious concert halls throughout the U.K and Ireland by the Dream Town Orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the RTÉ Symphony Orchestra.
‘It was a magical and emotional experience to record the score to my film, ‘Miraculous – Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie’ at Air Studios with such talented musicians of the Dream Town Orchestra. All of this was made possible by the tireless work and dedication of Tom Croxon and the entire Dream Town Music team. I really look forward to working with them again on my next movies.’ Jeremy Zag, 2023
