David Arnold
David Arnold (* 23. January 1962 in Luton ) is an English film music - composer . Arnold is married and lives in London , England .
Act
Arnold composed his first major film scores for Stargate and Independence Day , with which he achieved his breakthrough in Hollywood through the use of a large romantic orchestral apparatus. His originally purely symphonic , later heavily electronic music provided, for example, the background music for all James Bond films from 1997 ( Tomorrow Never Dies ) to 2008 ( A Quantum of Solace ).
He experimented with recording techniques. So he wrote down a composition backwards, had an orchestra play the music and then turned these recordings over again on the computer. This is how an orchestral sound was created, subtly beyond the usual.
One of his main orchestrators is Nicholas Dodd, whose sound style can be heard in all of David Arnold's film scores.
Since 1995 Arnold has won a total of ten awards at the BMI Film & TV Awards . In 1997 he won a Grammy for his music for Independence Day . Together with Michael Price he has been composing the music for the Sherlock series since 2010 . a. Awarded an Emmy .
