Who is Harmonious Dolphin?
My name is Elliot Cowling and I’m a Composer, Actor and Writer. From a young age, I have loved the arts and telling and sharing stories. I graduated from the University of Chichester with a BA (Hons) Degree in Digital Film Production and Acting for Film. I am currently living in the South West of England.
Over time, my love of movies has fueled my love of soundtracks. For the past several years I have scored various short films, one of which was nominated for the Best Student Film award at the Making Waves Film Festival in Portsmouth, UK. I am blessed with perfect pitch and I can transcribe music proficiently. I am an accomplished self taught pianist and guitarist. I started my YouTube channel, Harmonious Dolphin back in early 2019. I wanted to create suites of my favourite soundtracks to showcase these beautiful pieces of music and I am overwhelmed with the positive response that I have received. Harmonious Dolphin has become my studio/brand name that encompasses my music and media content I believe that the soundtrack is the heartbeat of any media production, and sound and vision form the perfect marriage. I am offering my services as a composer, and more information and demo tracks can be found on the Music Services page.
I am a trained actor, and throughout my experience in the craft, I have performed in many different theatre styles, ranging from Street Theatre at the Larmer Tree Festival in Salisbury, 2015, to Immersive Theatre in an abandoned swimming pool. My time at university allowed me to develop my skills in Screen Acting, and I fell in love with the intimacy and nuance that the actors can bring to a script through the power of the camera.
I am the author of various online short horror stories on creepypastawikia.com. One of these gained international acclaim in the community and has been posted and recorded in a variety of formats by fans of my work.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I hope you enjoy my content!
YouTube Channel
Harmonious Dolphin started in 2019 as a channel dedicated to sharing suites of music from Movies, TV Shows and Video Games for your enjoyment! My Perfect Pitch and Chromesthesia allow me to make unique flowing videos that are comprised of individual tracks, but they sound as if they are one piece of music. Storytelling is my passion and soundtracks are an often overlooked medium. However, Harmonious Dolphin has now become my company name! I am planning on making other content as well as doing livestreams so I will update this page as and when these things happen. I am overwhelmed with the positive response from my Wizarding World Suites and I can't thank my viewers enough for supporting the channel. At the time of writing, my first Wizarding World Suite has received over 1 MILLION views. The link to the channel can be found below:

“Elliot brings an artist's alchemy to all of his creative work. Crucially, he has the instinctual ability to extend, colour and shape creative ideas into sound. The like of which perfectly underpin the visual images of a scene, thereby delivering a unique and wholly bespoke signature soundscape that flows throughout a project."
Jason Pitt, Actor and Lecturer at the University Of Chichester
"I have had the pleasure to work with Elliot on most of my projects. He has a great range of genres he can cater for. As well as having a broad imagination to help inspire him, he also really understands the effect of music on scenes and can bring really valued insight and contribution to a project."
Matthew Bearcroft, Director, Cover Red Films
"Elliot is so easy to work with and I’m always excited to see what he comes up with. Every piece of music Elliot has done for one of my projects has been perfect. He knows exactly how to use just the right sounds, to evoke powerful emotions that bring the projects to a higher level."
Connor Howe, Actor and Filmmaker
"I came to Elliot with the request he make a Youtube outro for me, I couldn’t be happier with the end result. The track he created is extremely close to the brief and example tracks given as a starting point. His creation of the first draft was quick, promptly delivered for review. He took criticism and improvements onboard. Easy to work with. Very accommodating. Redraft also received quickly. I’m incredibly happy with the end result. Will be using his services again."
