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..
DROKK is here! Ben has collaborated on an album with Portishead's Geoff Barrow, which is currently getting rave reviews in the music press and has gone straight into the Any Decent Music top 10. According to The Quietus "The album is a lovingly crafted ode to Judge Dredd, urban alienation, the cinematic sci-fi masterpieces of the late 70s and early 80s, electronic music of both the past and present, and it all hits with the weight of a cadmium steak tenderizer. What more could you want?"
"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.
