Melissa Parmenter is both a prolific pianist/composer and a successful BAFTA-nominated film producer. Her passion for music and film can often be heard in her atmospheric soundtracks composed for films such as Genova, starring Colin Firth and Catherine Keener and The Killer Inside Me, starring Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson.
In 2017 she released her debut EP, the stark and striking Scandinavia. Inspired by her visits to the region with its brooding landscape, extreme climate and fascinating mythology, this EP marked the beginning of her long-standing collaboration with acclaimed cellist Harry Escott to create an elegant collection of piano-led compositions inspired by place.
It was followed in 2020 by her critically acclaimed mini-album Messapica, which was inspired by the sights and sounds of Puglia, the region of Italy she also calls home. Following in this well-established tradition of being inspired to compose by locations to which she has a strong personal connection, Parmenter will release her new EP North Sea this summer.
In her work as a film producer, Parmenter co-runs Revolution Films with director Michael Winterbottom. She has produced many important works such as The Road to Guantanamo, Greed, The Trip series with Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon, This England, starring Kenneth Branagh, and Shoshana, which recently premiered at the BFI London Film Festival.
