He was a co-founder of the UK hip-hop record label Dented Records and co-owner of a film company the Silence Corporation.

History

Maclaine started out his career as a bassist in London before eventually moving into music production. He began writing his own music under the name: "The Silence". In April 2001 he started Dented Records with two members of successful UK Hip-Hop group Foreign Beggars.

In 2002 Maclaine went on to form Post Trip Hop band Second Person with singer/pianist Julia Johnson. The pair completed work on writing the music for the free-skiing trilogy 'Snow's in the House' and released their debut album Chromatography in October 2004.[3]

The duo went on to write the music score for British feature film City Rats, which was released in early 2009 and on DVD on 27 April 2009.[4] In 2008, Maclaine produced (under his pseudonym "The Silence") the album Close to Home in New York City with New Zealand rapper Maitreya. Two of the album's tracks were nominated for the APRA Silver Scroll Award for songwriting in New Zealand.[5] Second Person released two further albums before parting company, after 10 years, in April 2011.[6]

Maclaine spends much of his time tutoring,[2] however continues to produce music and videos for other artists. In 2010 he directed the music video "Questions In My Mind" by Portuguese singer Ana Free in New York City.[7][8] The pair worked together on two further videos "Playgrounds and Kisses" and "Electrical Storm", both reaching number 1 in the MTV Portugal charts and were filmed in Free's hometown of Lisbon, Portugal and London, England respectively.[9] His other work has included directing for the Africa Express project, filming their various guest musicians including Damon Albarn, Paul McCartney and John Paul Jones.[10][11]
