Guy has just completed scoring the US movie, The Flock starring Richard Gere and Claire Danes, The Christmas Miracle Of Jonathan Toomey starring Joely Richardson and Tom Berenger, and Dot.Com for Fado Films, as well as Operazione Pilota, an Italian feature. He also recently completed scoring The Broken, filmed in London by Oscar nominated director, Sean Ellis. He is currently scoring Knife Edge for director, Anthony Hickox and producers, Janette Day and Pippa Cross, and starring Hugh Bonneville. In 2005/06 he scored four feature films and two further scores appeared on commercial soundtracks, Modigliani and Mother Theresa of Calcutta. Guy's work is also to be heard on Sean Ellis’ directorial debut, Cashback, starring Emilia Fox, and the 2 part Italian film L’Uomo che Sognava con Le Aquila, directed by Vittorio Sindoni. He also scored Land of the Blind starring Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland, and Irish Jam a comedy with Eddie Griffin and Anna Friel. ....GUY FARLEY is one of the most promising up and coming composers right now. In my opinion, his melodically sensitive and masterfully orchestrated score for Modigliani was one of the five best film scores all categories last year. It has now been released by Milan Records in France….. Scoring an action flick might not be the most hip thing you can do, but some of the music Farley wrote last year ranks among some of the best score written for any film. And although it’s action score, melody is the main asset – this is actually the case with all of the Guy Farley works I’ve heard. For one piece in particular, Farley treated his terrific main theme in a restrained, elegant and unexpectedly beautiful way with piano, strings and solo female voice.
Showing a great talent for melody and thematic writing that evokes warm memories of the French master Georges Delerue, Guy Farley will definitely be one of film music stars of tomorrow. He has recently scored the political drama Land of the Blind starring Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland. Stay tuned for more Guy Farley news as we will keep a very attentive eye on this amazing talent!"

Guy
Farley (born 5th February 1963 in Haslemere, UK), who works out of Sphere Studios,
a state of the art recording complex in Battersea, has recently
emerged onto the international film scene as one of Europe’s leading
composers. His style is warm, melodic and distinctive, however it is
the variety of his film scores that sets him apart from his
contemporaries; his music includes sweeping orchestral scores, world
music (Indian, African and Asian), contemporary sound design and
programming to collaborations with pop artists and producers.
Aside from Guy's Film and
Television work, he has written and produced music with artists such
as the Sugababes, the Appletons, Mica Paris, Duran Duran and
Charlotte Church. His stunning production and string arrangements
can be heard on the track Don't Worry (a Top 10 UK hit) for the
Appleton's and on the tracks Caught and Conversation for the latest
Sugarbabes album. Guy also worked on the track Tonight by Amy
Winehouse for the film Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. Guy’s
