Daniel Pemberton writes lots of music for TV, films, videogames and stuff like that.
Some of it is on here and some of it is also at www.danielpemberton.com.
NEW SOUNDTRACK ALBUMS OUT NOW....
A whole bunch of new soundtrack albums have just been released featuring my work. THE HAUNTED AIRMAN, a psychological thriller starring Twilight's Robert Pattinson, ATTILA THE HUN + NAPOLEON, two epic orchestral scores from the BBC TV series Heroes + Villains (bizarre fact - it turns out George Lucas is a big fan of the Attila film!!) and some more choral craziness from the TV series MONSTER MOVES!! Click on the above links to hear excerpts. All albums are available DRM free from iTunes. Attila/Napoleon is also available as a CD!
AMAZING PAUL MORLEY ARTICLE ON MY MUSIC...
So Paul Morley, the very esteemed English music critic, recently did a big interview with me for The Guardian. It was possibly one of the most interesting and insightful interviews I have, and imagine, will ever do. You can both listen to it and read it here.
RTS NOMINATIONS.......
Two nominations in both music categories at this year's Royal Television Society Awards: OCCUPATION for BEST ORIGINAL SCORE and DESPERATE ROMANTICS for BEST TITLES MUSIC. Woo hoo!
RECENT WORK.......
Recent project completed include a number of TV dramas - BBC's Iraq war serial OCCUPATION (Starring James Nesbitt and Stephen Graham), the one off BBC film BEST: A MOTHER'S STORY and the BBC2 series DESPERATE ROMANTICS which featured a rather mental period drama-goes-glam rock score.
LITTLE BIG PLANET is coming....... and so is a soundtrack album!
I've just completed writing the main intro theme and a load of other music for the amazing new Media Molecule Playstation 3 game LittleBigPlanet. Alongside the fantastic intro, designed by the ever talented Rex Crowle and featuring the lovely tones of Stephen Fry, there's a load of other tracks I've done for the game. A couple of these are taken from the TVPOPMUZIK album while the others haven't really been heard properly before. A download only soundtrack album "Little BIG Music: Musical Oddities From And Inspired By LittleBIGPlanet" will be released on iTunes and all other major digital platforms on December 15th via 1812 Recordings. It'll feature a new, extended version of the opening track "The Orb Of Dreamers", all the Daniel Pemberton TV Orchestra tracks in the game and also a few bits that'd didn't make the final version as well. Hunt it out or sign up at www.danielpemberton.com for more info and free stuff!!
The music I wrote for the game was recently nominated for a BAFTA for Best Original Soundtrack. Hurrah! But it didn't win. BOO!
TVPOPMUZIK, the first album from THE DANIEL PEMBERTON TV ORCHESTRA arrives in shops on JULY 2 2007 on 1812 Recordings. It features reworked and wacked out instrumentals from shows such as HELLS KITCHEN, PEEP SHOW, BAD LADS ARMY, SUBURBAN SHOOTOUT, THAT'LL TEACH EM and many many more..
The 21 songs include turntablists scratching up military band records, kazoos, a massive string section, old Gibson guitars, whistling, extreme auto tune, cellos, punk drum kits, synthesized choirs, rulers, my mouth, beatboxing, crazy keyboard solos, ambient washes, trumpets, kitchen utensils, sampled classical records, accordions, parrot noises, bits of metal I recorded on a farm in France, Icelandic vocalists, a folk band, a cardboard box, farfisa organs, a grand piano, a badly recorded ukulele and a lot more silly noises. It is probably the oddest record you will hear all year. Here's a rather rubbish animation announcing that fact, backed by the album track 'Foxy Cat'. Get ready..
CLIP FROM NAPOLEON ORCHESTRAL RECORDING SESSION
This is a clip from the recent recording session for Napoleon, a recent BBC drama starring Tom Burke and Rob Brydon, I have been composing for. We had a 73 piece orchestra (49 strings!) and recorded the score in Prague in June 2007. Unfortunately this video sounds pretty rubbish as it is shoddily edited together and also uses the crappy microphone from the camcorder. But you get the general gist of it.
....and here's what it looks and sounds like in the final film:
A BIG SONG ABOUT A BIG CHURCH BEING MOVED ON THE BACK OF A BIG LORRY
Here is a clip from the upcoming Five/National Geographic series MONSTER MOVES. The director had asked me to write a musical number for the end of the show, which is about people moving giant buildings hundreds of miles - not your normal show to end on a song and dance number. I thought he was mad and that no po-faced TV exec would ever let it happen. But they did. Wow. Here it is. It is very very silly and very very over the top. Special thanks to the 40 people strong Manning Chorus, USA.
DROPPING OF THE BOMB SEQUENCE FROM HIROSHIMA
Here's an excerpt from the BBC film Hiroshima which I scored. The film recently won Best International Documentary at the EMMYS, which of course, was all thanks to music. Really. This cue features a 70 piece orchestra, multiple duduk flutes and ebowed guitars, electronics and samples from my watering can. This version has also been edited slightly to remove the narration from the very end of the sequence, which is a bit naughty I suppose but it has more musical impact that way I think.

hmm, sonic surgeon (a few comments below this) asks of us a demanding question. you see, i thought i liked art, but then, when legs are thrown into the equation, i wonder, do i REALLY like art?
that's the thing, isn't it. i don't know. I JUST DON'T KNOW. am i prepared to grab art by its shackles and teach it science? 'it'; that is assuming it is of no gender. art may be a man, art may be a woman. ART MAY BE BOTH. art's mystical. keepign in the shaodws. is that art? nono, that's a sneaky silouette, shaped as art. ooh, you got me good art. you had me going for a moment.
