Daniel Pemberton an Ivor Novello winning and multi-Golden Globe and BAFTA nominated composer known for embracing a wide range of musical mediums, from electronic to orchestral. His unconventional and innovative approaching to scoring has captured the attention of not only some of the most legendary directors in the industry but also filmgoers and critics alike and has established him as one of the most versatile and exciting voices working in film today.

He has composed the scores to such major films as Danny Boyle’s STEVE JOBS (2015), Ridley Scott’s THE COUNSELOR (2013), Aaron Sorkin’s MOLLYS GAME (2017), Guy Ritchie’s THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (2015) and KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD (2017), Nicole Garcia’s FROM THE LAND OF THE MOON (2016), and Stephen Gaghan’s GOLD (2016).

After more than a decade establishing himself as one of the most inventive and experimental voices in British television, Pemberton moved into the world of film with the period supernatural thriller The Awakening (2011). His hybrid choral, orchestral and electronic score caught the ear of Ridley Scott who hired the composer to score his feature THE COUNSELOR (2013). He collaborated again with Scott on the director’s first foray into television, “The Vatican” in 2014. He was named “Discovery Of The Year” at the World Soundtrack Awards in 2014 and nominated as “Film Composer Of The Year” in 2016.

Sufjan Stevens

Original Songs

Sufjan Stevens s a singer-songwriter currently living in New York City. A preoccupation with epic concepts has motivated two state records (“Michigan” and “Illinois”), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (“Seven Swans”), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (“Enjoy Your Rabbit”), two Christmas box sets (“Songs for Christmas, Vols. 1-5” and “Silver & Gold, Vols. 6-10”), and a programmatic tone poem for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (“The BQE”). In 2010, Sufjan released an expansive EP (“All Delighted People”) and the full length “The Age of Adz,” a collection of songs partly inspired by the outsiderartist Royal Robertson. His most recent release is “Carrie & Lowell,” released in March of 2015.

Three of Stevens’ songs are on the CALL ME BY YOUR NAME soundtrack. Two new ones, “Mystery of Love” and “Visions of Gideon,” were written and performed especially for the film, and a previous song, “Futile Devices,” was rearranged.

Born in Detroit and raised in Northern Michigan, Sufjan attended Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, and the masters program for writers at the New School for Social Research.
