Marc Canham

Throughout his numerous scores and collaborations, Marc has delivered filmic landscapes built on elegant twists of musical genres. From his critically acclaimed scores for the films ‘I Care A Lot’ and ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’, to his TV series work on ‘Culprits’ and ‘Deceit’ Canham skilfully crafts a world where acoustic and ‘invented’ sounds co-exist. He is equally at home in front of an ensemble at Abbey Road as in his studio ‘workshop’, creating music using an array of found objects, synthesisers, guitars and instruments from around the world.

Marc’s enthusiasm for collaboration has led him to team up with some of the most exciting musical talent around. His compositions have been remixed and re-interpreted by UNKLE, Amon Tobin, and Diplo, and he has also collaborated with the likes of Iggy Pop, Sean Callery, Paul Hartnoll, and Baaba Maal. 

Defining his compositional style is not straightforward. Marc manages to blur the boundaries between the two approaches of live recording and studio ‘alchemy’, making organic sound feel otherworldly, and his electronic approach feel alive and human. His focus is not restricted to the notes on the page, but also captures the details between them, allowing musical spaces to complement the revolving structures that form the framework of his compositions.

To date Marc has worked on over 100 soundtracks demonstrating the versatility of his unique and creative talent. His debut album FADER is set for release early 2027, and he is currently working on an upcoming BBC drama series and a feature film with long term collaborator J Blakeson.
