Music for Film, TV, Theatre, Advertising and Multimedia by Oxford Composer Mark Arnold

Hi. I’m Mark Arnold. Based in Oxford, UK I compose music for Film, TV, Theatre, Advertising and Multimedia. My music has feeling, emotion, sensitivity and passion - whether it’s for ad campaigns, TV programmes, films, corporate videos, games or therapy.

My background includes composing music for a TV wildlife series with David Attenborough, ads for Barclays, Aviva and Olay, police drama, therapy music and a chillout album available internationally. I have just completed music for a US stage play and am currently working on the soundtrack for a new feature film - Retribution. Click here for a full bio.

I work in my state-of-the art studio based in Oxford and work closely with our partner Nimrod Productions, using their production and recording expertise and access to live orchestras. Nimrod Productions is one of the most established and successful audio production companies in the video game industry and produced the Ivor Novello award-winning music for Killzone 2.

People say I’m easy to work with. I’m just as happy to talk with you whether you have big bucks to spend – or are making a low budget movie.

Take a look around and listen and see what you think.

NOMAD Just Wandering… album

Mark Arnold composed the music for this stunning, original album. Is it Sade meets Massive Attack? Or Dead Can Dance hooked up with Norah Jones and Jakatta? Think Global Impertinence. Intelligent, melodic, edgy music with jazz influences means every track on this album drives you somewhere new & refuses to bring you back.
