Arthur-Sharpe

Arthur Sharpe is a BAFTA, 2x Ivor Novello and RTS Award-winning composer

… whose distinct and characterful music helps give each new project a unique identity. Often blending a traditional orchestral palette with more unusual instruments and sounds, balancing between the strange and the familiar, the beautiful and the gnarly as the picture requires, his scores can move, unsettle, intrigue and intensify in equal measure.  

Most recently he scored PRIME TARGET (2025) – a Scott Free/New Regency 8-part thriller for Apple TV, starring Leo Woodall and Quintessa Swindell.

Other notable works include: the BBC1 & Sister Pictures series THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES (2023) for which he won the 2024 Ivor Novello Award for Best Television Soundtrack; the HBO & Sky Atlantic series LANDSCAPERS (2021), a genre-distorting true crime drama starring Olivia Colman and David Thewlis, for which he won multiple awards including the 2022 BAFTA for Best Original Music and his first Ivor Novello Award for Best Television Soundtrack; and the feature film THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN (2021), a Victorian-era artist’s biopic starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy, for which he won an ASCAP London Music Award, as well as being nominated for the 2023 Ivor Novello Awards and making the 2022 BAFTA Longlist for Best Original Film Score. His work on the latter two projects also saw him nominated for an IFMCA Award for Breakthrough Composer of the Year.

Currently he’s working on the first of two feature films he has lined up for early 2025, with a new series scheduled for later in the year.
