Composers
Guy Farley
|
Guy, who works out of Sphere Studios, a state of the art recording complex in Battersea, has recently emerged onto the international film scene as one of Europe’s leading composers.
His style is warm, melodic and distinctive, however it is the variety of his film scores that sets him apart from his contemporaries; his music includes sweeping orchestral scores, world music (Indian, African and Asian), contemporary sound design and programming to collaborations with pop artists and producers.
In 2005/06 he scored four feature films and two further scores appeared on commercial soundtracks, Modigliani and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. The most recent films to feature Guy’s work are the thriller Knife Edge and the horror The Broken.
Other films include Sean Ellis’ directorial debut, Cashback, starring Emilia Fox and the 2 part Italian film L’Uomo che Sognava con Le Aquila, directed by Vittorio Sindoni. He also scored Land of the Blind with Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland and Irish Jam a comedy with Eddie Griffin and Anna Friel.
"....GUY FARLEY is one of the most promising up and coming composers right now. In my opinion, his melodically sensitive and masterfully orchestrated score for Modigliani was one of the five best film scores all categories last year. It has now been released by Milan Records in France…..
Scoring an action flick might not be the most hip thing you can do, but some of the music Farley wrote last year ranks among some of the best score written for any film. And although it’s action score, melody is the main asset – this is actually the case with all of the Guy Farley works I’ve heard. For one piece in particular, Farley treated his terrific main theme in a restrained, elegant and unexpectedly beautiful way with piano, strings and solo female voice.
Showing a great talent for melody and thematic writing that evokes warm memories of the French master Georges Delerue, Guy Farley will definitely be one of film music stars of tomorrow. He has recently scored the political drama Land of the Blind starring Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland. Stay tuned for more Guy Farley news as we will keep a very attentive eye on this amazing talent!"
