On creating music, Canham stated that he wanted to deliver emotion through a "sound palette" of combinations of sounds, textures, and ensembles of instruments, then letting loose with melodies and motifs.[8] For I Care A Lot, Canham claims to have created the score from the script, as opposed to the film.[5]
Along with Richard Aitken and others, Canham founded Nimrod Productions Limited in 2000, a music production company in Oxfordshire, UK.[9][10] Nimrod has provided orchestral soundtracks for The Getaway, Black Monday, Gran Turismo 4 and Driver versions 2 and 3.[11] It was dissolved in 2019.
Canham founded the Nimrod Studio Orchestra (NSO) in 2002, a commercial session orchestra which has been behind game scores including 24: The Game, Killzone 2, and Act of War: Direct Action.[10]
