Recording Ben and Barnaby's score for Natures Great Events with the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Will Goodchild.
Emmy nominated composer, Ben Salisbury, has forged a unique and highly successful career. He is best known as one of the countries leading film and TV composers, particularly in the field of Natural History, where he has scored over 50 films - including the last 3 of David Attenborough's 'Life Of…' series. He is also, though, involved with some of the UK's most interesting 'alternative' bands..
Ben has co-written 4 tracks on the new Malachai album 'Return To The Ugly Side', including the opening track 'Monsters', which is currently being played heavily by Zane Lowe on Radio One. A great, 4 star review in Q magazine also hones in on 'Monsters': "Best, though, is opener Monsters, which could pass as Ennio Morricone scoring a surf movie on the Severn Bore". Ben's co-written EP with The Beekeepers is also recieving rave reviews, and is no.1 in the DMC Zzub Chart!
"I think it is one of the best scores there has been on any programme I have narrated, doing exactly what one hopes music will do in the circumstances - evoking atmosphere, enhancing drama, delighting the ear yet not dominating the picture." Sir David Attenborough on Ben's music for episode 3 of 'The Life Of Mammals'. The score for this series (co-composed with Dan Jones) is available on a BBC CD.
