Keane studied composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Edmund Rubbra, and piano with Geraldine Peppin. He went on to study sound recording and film music at the National Film and Television School. While there, he scored many graduation films, and his successful career as a composer was launched with his score for Careless Talk, which won the BAFTA Short Film Award in 1986. Keane quickly established himself in the film and television music industry in 1987, when he scored The Kitchen Toto, directed by Harry Hook.[3] The film won the Tokyo Grand Prize, and Keane won a prize for Best Soundtrack at the Festival International du Film et de la Jeunesse. The same year, he won the 1987 British Film Institute prize for Young Composer of the Year.[citation needed]
Keane has also written music for a number of documentary series, including Molly Dineen's BBC The Ark, winner of a BAFTA Award, and The House, about London's Royal Opera House. He has also written music for a number of feature films, including four directed by Gilles McKinnon: Small Faces, Trojan Eddie, Hideous Kinky, and Tara Road.[citation needed]
