Maryann and Michael Tedstone are a brother and sister composition duo based in their studio at the Phoenix Square Film and Digital Media Centre in Leicester. Maryann was classically trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Michael at the Alchemea College of Sound Engineering. Writing under the name Manike, they first cut their teeth as composers writing for the Royal Shakespeare Company and then Big Life Publishing and Universal Music as songwriters. Part of their uniqueness as writers is their re-creation of historical melodies and music from faraway places for a mainstream audience. Drawing upon sounds often unheard or forgotten, they specialise in composing new works for the modern day.
