Seeking suitable music

Mine and Ruby's housemate mentioned a while ago that he has a friend (Dom Hough) usic and would like to work with creative students on a project so we hoped he'd be able to compose something for our piece. I showed him the animatic and descried the type of sound that might be suitable. He put together some quick short pieces just to try and gauge our reactions.
We felt they were a bit artificial sounding perhaps, we wanted to stress that we'd prefer a more natural sound than synthetic.

I did some research into the types of music you hear on children's tv shows and came across a composer from Australia called Mark Hansen.
I felt some of his songs which are aimed at children would be suitable and shared it with Dom. He's currently making new samples for us to listen to.

This one was Katie's favourite so I flagged that up with Dom.
He'll possibly be making sound effects for us too and if so we'll keep them nice and subtle.
