Graham Hadfield
Graham Hadfield is a composer of music for film and television and is a graduate of the National Film and Television School in the UK. He composes in a broad range of musical styles, from full orchestral scores to sound design. He loves to work with live musicians but dependent on the budget of a production he is equally ready to create samples-based scores, working with the best sample libraries available. Recent credits include One Crazy Thing for Amit Gupta, Harry Macqueen’s debut feature, Hinterland, and BFI production Orbit Ever After which was nominated for a BAFTA and won Best Composition in a Short Film at the Music+Sound Awards in 2014.
Graham has won a number of other awards including the Huddersfield International Music Festival Young Composer’s Award, and was lucky enough to attend the IRCAM Académie d’été in Paris. In addition to his work in film, his music has been performed and broadcast at a number of festivals around the world. He also holds a PhD in music composition.
