Biography

Martin Phipps has composed and produced soundtracks for television dramas, such as North & South (BBC, 2004), Sense & Sensibility (BBC, 2008) and Persuasion (ITV, 2007).

Coming from a musical background (he is Benjamin Britten’s godson), Martin read drama at Manchester University – fortunately for the acting world, he decided to concentrate his energies on writing music. Martin’s music is consistently innovative, and strikes at the emotional heart of the drama.

Following the early critical success of Eureka Street he went on to score the BBC period dramas North and South and Elizabeth - The Virgin Queen; an enchanting score, in which he incorporated the wonderful voices of the Medieval Babes to excellent effect, and for which he was recognised with the Ivor Novello Award 2007 and an RTS Award for Best Original Score.

Martin scored the gripping drama Low Winter Sun, for Channel 4, starring Mark Strong and Brian McCardie and Ruby In The Smoke, the first of the Sally Lockhart Mysteries adapted and written by Phillip Pullman for the BBC. He scored Persuasion, the most recent ITV adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel, and Grow Your Own, a feature for Warp Films. He also scored the BBC’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, adapted by Andrew Davies. Martin was then commissioned to score the BBC’s most recent Oliver Twist adaptation, for which he was recognised with the Ivor Novello Award 2008 for Best Television Soundtrack.

    Colonel Brandon Saves Marianne is my favourite piece. So powerful. Right after the screaming Of Colonel Brandon, then that dramatic music. So powerful. Especially with the horse galloping

    Persuasion, Sense & Sensibility, North & South. Beautiful scores which (except for North & South) I fear I'll never possess :(. It's a miracle I have the North & South soundtrack :/
