Simon Boswell

'If you’re a movie fan you’ll certainly know his music: Simon Boswell is one of the UK’s finest living soundtrack composers.' TIME OUT
Simon's work has graced films by some of independent cinema’s incredible mavericks such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (SANTA SANGRE), Dario Argento (PHENOMENA), Michael Hoffman (A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM), Danny Boyle (SHALLOW GRAVE) and Richard Stanley (HARDWARE, DUST DEVIL).

His work for horror and fantasy cinema is key, especially the Italian giallo films, and flicks like Clive Barker’s detective horror LORD OF ILLUSIONS. Then there&#39;s the hybrid cyberpunk riffings of HACKERS and HARDWARE, where he unusually combined acoustic, slide guitar with resonant, doomy synths to create a hugely popular, apocalyptic score for which he was nominated for BAFTA&#39;s prestigious Anthony Asquith Award.
Simon has also composed countless orchestral scores both melodic and experimental: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT&#39;S DREAM, PHOTOGRAPHING FAIRIES, WAR ZONE, TIN MAN, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS and has garnered many international awards and nominations including 2 BAFTAS and 1 CLASSICAL BRIT.
