Biography
During the 1980s, Armstrong’s composition work included commissions from the Arts Council for various classical ensembles in Scotland, and he also served as resident composer at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow. During this time he also received a Composer’s Award to study electronic music, and maintained a parallel career in the Scottish Pop music scene, as a member of bands Hipsway, Texas and The Big Dish.
In 1990, his music theatre group Performance performed at the Glasgow Mayfest, and he composed a number of works for film, television, and stage productions by the Traverse Theatre, the BBC, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, among others. By the late 1990s he had gained critical acclaim for his work on the Baz Luhrman films Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! (which won him a Golden Globe for Best Original Score in 2001). He has also done orchestrations with artists such as Massive Attack, Madonna, U2, Suede, Pet Shop Boys and The Future Sound of London. During this time he also released his first album of his own orchestral work, The Space Between Us, in 1998.

Piano Works - просто шедевральный альбом! Чего стоит только Weather Storm, исполненный на рояле, без спецэффектов!

I think more people should listen to "Romeo + Juliet, Vol. 2". One of the best scores by Armstrong - pure genius.

In Time is a nice little score. Not a huge fan of Armstrong so it came as a nice surprise to me. [2]
