Laurence Owen
Composer - Sound Designer - Songwriter - Voice Artist
I am the co-founder of podcast production company Long Cat Media.
We produce high-quality audio fiction productions, including our flagship series Mockery Manor and The Ballad of Anne & Mary.
Mockery Manor is black comedy mystery-thriller set in a theme park in 1980s Britain. The Ballad of Anne & Mary is a musical epic inspired by the lives of the pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
For both projects, I acted as composer and sound designer, as well as voicing many of the characters.

In a theatrical setting, I have co-written and performed many shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, including Cinemusical (2015), Cinemusical High (2016), a musical adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, and Jekyll vs Hyde (2019), Wilton's Music Hall Fringe Foundations Award winner, and Broadway World Award nominee.
I am also a session and touring musician, having played for singers Jess Robinson, Christina Bianco, comedian Marcel Lucont and as part of Wandering Soul Band.
