“Daniel is always finding something fresh and original to say, and always pursuing his gentle work ethic to achieve the best that could be created within the parameters of each project.”
— John Hardy, Head of Composition RWCMD
“Music was also an integral part of the play and, I’d say, the icing on the cake. The original, catchy songs had me singing long after the end of the show”
— Quench on The Curious Muchness of Stuff and Nonsense
“Now this is wilfully strange, but I like it… Either my Nintendo’s gone wrong or all sounds are trying to attack me at once, but in a very entertaining way… I liked it very, very much. It sounds like the demo button on my keyboard has gone sentient!”
— BBC Radio Wales on Fungobungo
 
“The score is also extremely well crafted and adds greatly to Jardine’s storytelling”
— The Romford Film Festival on Wool
“...for your vision and the film’s unique contribution to cinema.”
— Experimental Forum Film Festival, L.A. on Socialite’s Honourable Mention Award
