Showreel

Paul J Arnold

Music for stories that last.

Every story has a rhythm. My job is to find it and translate it into music.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked across film, television and games, shaping scores that support narrative, deepen emotion, and connect with audiences on a fundamental level. My work has been recognised with a BAFTA nomination for music (Primal) and my scores have been on 2 BAFTA winning projects, a television series (Armchair Detectives) and a video game (MediEvil II).

While my work spans genres and styles, the constant is collaboration. Understanding the creative vision of what a director, producer or studio is truly aiming for is at the centre of every project. From there, the music finds its form.

Each score is different. The process isn’t. Listen closely. Interpret precisely. Deliver what the story and the people behind it need.
