Lorne Balfe – His Dark Materials (The Musical Anthology Of)

 


Originally from Inverness, Scotland, Lorne Balfe’s love of music and writing was evident from an early age.

His childhood home had a residential recording studio where the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Inner Circle would record.

As early as eight years-old, Lorne began writing and selling his composed “jingles” for advertisements, and at the age of thirteen he auditioned to be a percussionist with the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra, becoming their youngest member, and travelled around Scotland with them professionally. It became clear to Lorne that he wanted to become a film composer and in his late teens he started writing letters to other composers in the hope of an opportunity. It was then he decided to move to the U.S., and soon his exceptional career took off.

He has consistently received accolades for his musical compositions. Lorne has worked with many of the most prestigious directors in the industry including Christopher Nolan, Ron Howard, Michael Bay, Cate Shortland, Ang Lee, Christophe Waltz, Jerry Bruckheimer, Sean Baker, and Chris McKay
