Christian is one of the UK’s most talented and sought after score composers whose vitality and creative approach is very much at the vanguard of the next generation of score composers taking over this industry.

He has just completed scoring the much anticipated The Devil’s Double starring Dominic Cooper. Directed by Lee Tamahori, it tells the story of life inside the court of Saddam Hussein, centering on the relationship between his son Uday and his body double. This is due for worldwide release early in 2011 and has been entered for competition, both at Sundance, and the Berlin Film Festivals.

Further recent highlights of Christian’s career include two films with director Christopher Smith; Triangle, featuring the vocals of Dot Allison and the critically acclaimed Black Death, (which earned him a Best Original Score award at Screamfest LA), as well as the French blockbuster La Rafle, starring Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent, and a collaboration with Oscar winner, Dario Marianelli for Working Title’s Hippie Hippie Shake. Christian has also scored the globally recognised Agatha Christie’s – Poirot. He delivered an incredibly enticing score for 4 feature length specials, including Murder On The Orient Express.

Since his debuts with Les Fils Du Vent & Chasing Liberty (which earned him a “Discovery Of The Year” nomination at the World Soundtrack Awards), Christian has used his broad experience both in orchestral and electronic disciplines to write an eclectic mixture of scores, including the children’s blockbuster fantasy, The Secret Of Moonacre (featuring Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Khan) and Chris Smith’s cult horror hit Severance, (which earned him an Ivor Novello nomination for “Best Original Movie Score” in 2007).

Christian first became immersed in the world of film composition early in his career through his highly acclaimed work within the UK Drum & Bass, Breakbeat and Pop scene; working with the likes of LTJ Bukem, The Freestylers, Scott Walker & Roy Ayers. Through writing for over 50 hit and cult TV series, combined with programming and assisting for a number of film composers including, Anne Dudley, Harry & Rupert Gregson Williams, Dario Marianelli and Patrick Doyle, Christian began forging what is now proving to be one of the most successful film and TV scoring careers in the UK.
