About
Jack is a London-based composer, orchestrator, and music editor specialising in film, television, and video games. His music is highly versatile, ranging from synth-driven textures to expansive orchestral arrangements. Deeply story-led and thematic, his work is often anchored by an acoustic core, with a strong emphasis on crafting unique and immersive soundscapes.
Recent credits include Borne, Would You Still Love Me If I Was A Sticky Frog, The Tree of Many Faces, Cádaver, and From The Top, the last three of which were shortlisted for the Yugo BAFTA awards.
Jack also composed the theme tune for the current affairs podcast Snowcast. He has worked as a music editor on the Apple TV documentary The Program and as part of wider music teams in roles including music editor, orchestrator, and assistant on projects such as Wonka, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, The Reluctant Traveller (Season 2), and Nautilus.
After studying music at The University of Manchester, Jack went on to complete an MA in composing for film TV and games at The National Film and Television School.
