Guy Farley

A British film composer (born 5th February 1963 in Haslemere, UK). He 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. Guy has just completed scoring the US movie, "The Flock" starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes, "The Christmas Miracle Of Jonathan Toomey" starring Joely Richardson and Tom Berenger, and "Dot.com" for Fado Films, as well as "Operazione Pilota", an Italian feature. He also recently completed scoring "The Broken", filmed in London by Oscar nominated director, Sean Ellis. He is currently scoring "Knife Edge" for director, Anthony Hickox and producers, Janette Day and Pippa Cross, and starring Hugh Bonneville. In 2005/06 he scored four feature films and two further scores appeared on commercial soundtracks, "Modigliani" and "Mother Theresa of Calcutta". Guy's work is also to be heard on 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" starring Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland, and "Irish Jam" a comedy with Eddie Griffin and Anna Friel. Aside from Guy's Film and Television work, he has written and produced music with artists such as the Sugababes, the Appletons, Mica Paris, Duran Duran and Charlotte Church. His stunning production and string arrangements can be heard on the track "Don't Worry" (a Top 10 UK hit) for the Appleton's and on the tracks "Caught And Conversation" for the latest Sugarbabes album. Guy also worked on the track "Tonight" by Amy Winehouse for the film Bridget Jones: "The Edge Of Reason".
