An Emmy nominated and Bafta award-winning composer, Ben Bartlett stormed the UK film & TV industry with his memorable and original score to Walking With Dinosaurs.
Hugely versatile, his music is intelligent, yet highly melodic, equally at ease with writing symphonic scores as well as contemporary, edgy and upbeat cues. It is very apparent from his credits that this is a composer who can score anything, and score it to brief whilst coming up with a voice that is fresh, unexpected and surprising. Ben is a composer for the alternatively minded project as well as the more 'mainstream' brief. He is a composer whose talents allow him to be as versatile as the projects for which he is commissioned.
He scored the 8 part drama, Ghost Squad, for Company Pictures (RTS Nomination 2006 - Best Theme ), Conviction, the acclaimed six-part drama for Red Productions and the BBC, as well as the twelve-part BBC comedy drama Absolute Power, starring Stephen Fry, and The Secret World Of Michael Fry, starring Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting), and directed by Mark Munden.
Ben also scored Mark Munden's hard hitting and extremely well received Iraqi conflict drama, Mark of Cain, which went on to receive eminent critical acclaim for it's controversial portrayal of young British service men in Basra during the Iraqi conflict.
He scored The Chase for Rollem Productions, as well as scoring Empathy for Carnival, and the out-and-out comedy fairytale Rapunzel for Hat Trick.
Ben also recently composed for Adrian Shergold with his most recent 1950's London period piece for TV, He Kills Coppers, which aired on ITV, and then went on to Carnival's three-part comedy drama, Midnight Man. He also recently scored the new archaeological thriller Bonekickers for Mammoth Screen and the BBC, as well as finishing scoring the BBC drama Fiona's Story, two very different projects at polar opposites in terms of dramatic tone and style, one being the study of one family under intense emotional disintegration, the other being a family oriented 'tongue-in-cheek' drama revolving around the stories unearthed by a group of professional archaeologists. Ben has been recognised with an Ivor Novello Nomination 2009 (Best Television Soundtrack) for Fiona's Story.
Ben has gone on to score Mutual Friends (RTS nominated), a six part comedy drama for Hat Trick Productions, and Hunter, a 2 part drama for the BBC directed by Colm McCarthy. He is currently scoring a feature length documentary for cinema release which is to document the life and times of the political scientist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Henry Kissinger.
