Stephen and a band of Dobermans formed The Free Association with David Holmes. Together as a band of composers and producers they scored the futuristic love story, Code 46, directed by Michael Winterbottom.[5] This resulted in a nomination for European Composer of the Year at the European Movie Awards. The Free Association also scored Bronwen Hughes' film Stander, based on a true story about South African chief of police in 1979.
The Free Association's album received critical acclaim and the band embarked on an extensive European tour, performing at Glastonbury, V2003, Kristiansand and Roskilde and on BBC's Later with Jools Holland.
The band's music features on a variety of car adverts, including a Renault Clio Campaign (UK) and a VW Campaign (Germany & Turkey). Other repertoire has been licensed to CSI (the American crime drama series) amongst other TV series.[4]
FlyKKller
Stephen uses the moniker FlyKKiller (now called FLYKKLLR), his debut artist project.[6] The album was reviewed by The Sunday Times & New York Times as the "best psyched up twisted soul record of the year".[citation needed]
