Daniel Pemberton is an Ivor
Novello winning and multi-BAFTA nominated composer well known for embracing a
wide range of musical mediums – from electronic to orchestral –
throughout his work. After more than a decade establishing himself as one
of the most inventive and experimental voices in British
television – scoring countless Emmy and BAFTA award winning dramas
and documentaries such as COMPLICIT, PEEP SHOW,
UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS, DESPERATE ROMANTICS, SPACE DIVE, OCCUPATION and HIROSHIMA – Pemberton moved
into the world of film with the period supernatural thriller THE
AWAKENING (2011).
His hybrid choral, orchestral and electronic
score caught the ear of Ridley Scott who, heavily impressed with
the standout work and what he called the composer’s ‘10,000 hours in
the garage’ hired the composer to score his feature THE
COUNSELOR (2013). He collaborated again with Scott on the director’s first foray
into television – THE VATICAN (2014). This work, alongside scores
to other features such as BLOOD (2012), IN FEAR (2013) and CUBAN FURY (2014), led him to be
named ‘Discovery Of The Year’ at the prestigious World Soundtrack
Awards 2014.
Already this year has seen the release of Pemberton’s acclaimed soundtrack to Guy Ritchie’s THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
(2015). Featuring a kaleidoscope of unusual instruments – including
cimbaloms, harpsichords, bass flutes and exotic percussion –
the bold 1960’s influenced music caught the attention of
cinema goers and critics alike and has established him as
one of the most versatile and exciting voices working in film today.
Now collaborating with yet another legendary director – Academy
Award winner Danny Boyle – Pemberton continues to approach
the world of scoring from a new angle, creating another unique
and unexpectedly inventive soundtrack with his latest works - STEVE JOBS (2015),
GOLD (2016) and KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD (2017).
Well known for his creative and incredibly versatile approach to
writing no two scores ever sound the same.
