Simon Power (born 14 February 1958) is an English composer & sound designer, best known for his work on the BBC's Classic Novelisation range of Doctor Who audiobooks.
[citation needed] As well as post production on a variety of Sci-Fi and fantasy audio releases (Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures and Big Finish's Pathfinder Legends and Blake's 7 productions), Power has also produced music that features in radio and TV ads, games and feature films around the world under the pseudonyms Elliot Simons and Dream Valley Music.
[citation needed] Games that feature his compositions include 'Pride & Prejudice & Zombies', 'Crimson Steam Pirates' (by Halo producers, Bungie), Yepi's Journey, Wacky Strike and Google Play's 'Red Ball 4'.
[citation needed] Since 2004 Power has been providing original compositions, spot FX and sound beds to accompany unabridged readings of the popular 1970s Doctor Who paperback novels released under the Target Imprint, voiced by actors who are closely associated with the television serial.
The fansite eyeofhorus.org, declared: "Whether it’s atmospheric treatment to voices...the gulp of a soldier rehydrating himself...the lethal laser rifle blast...to the gentle womb-like hum of the TARDIS console room...Meonsound has once again excelled in recreating the seemingly impossible".
[8]BBC Television's Doctor Who director Barry Letts (1925 - 2009) commented on Power's contribution to 'Doctor Who & The Daemons' noting that "The music & FX work well because they are so precise in their dubbing."
