ABOUT LORNE BALFE
Lorne Balfe is a Grammy Award winning, Emmy and BAFTA nominated film composer from Inverness, Scotland. Lorne is known for composing the scores to the Dreamworks’ animation MEGAMIND, and Ubisoft’s acclaimed game, ASSASSIN’S CREED III.
In addition to recognition earned for producing two of Hans Zimmer’s Oscar-nominated scores, SHERLOCK HOLMES and INCEPTION, Lorne has also received significant recognition for his work in the United Kingdom. In 2009, Lorne was nominated for the Discovery of the Year World Soundtrack Award for his score in the BAFTA award-winning film, CRYING WITH LAUGHTER. The same year he was nominated for the prestigious Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Award.
Lorne began his career in Hollywood providing additional music on several major motion pictures including the second and third installments of THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, THE SIMPSONS MOVIE, ANGELS & DEMONS, IRON MAN, and TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. He also composed additional music on the 2009 Golden Globe nominated film FROST/NIXON.
Complimented by his additional music, Balfe’s role as a score producer on 2008's THE DARK KNIGHT earned Lorne a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture. In 2009, Balfe was music producer and composer of the CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 video game, and score producer for Guy Ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES, which earned a 2010 Oscar nomination for Best Original Score. Only a year later, in 2011, Balfe produced the score for Christopher Nolan’s INCEPTION, which also earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score.
In more recent years, Balfe composed additional music FOR THE DARK KNIGHT, INCEPTION, RANGO, KUNG FU PANDA 2, SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS, MADAGASCAR 3, and 2012's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.
Balfe’s solo projects have kept him hard at work in the UK, composing for Ironclad, THE SWEENEY, NOT ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING (starring Karen Gillian of DOCTOR WHO) and SIDE BY SIDE. His music is featured in the BBC and Sundance Channel TV mini-series, RESTLESS, starring Hayley Atwell and Rufus Sewell, for which Lorne received the 2013 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Music Composition.
In the US Lorne worked alongside director Scott Walker for Walker’s film THE FROZEN GROUND, starring John Cusack, Nicolas Cage and Vanessa Hudgens. In collaboration with composer Rachel Portman, Lorne completed the music for 10x10's feature documentary GIRL RISING, directed by Academy Award nominee Richard E. Robbins that features narration by Hollywood actresses such as Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett. After years of work with director Shane Salerno, Lorne’s music in the highly secretive feature documentary, SALINGER, was finally released in September 2013.
When he hasn’t been composing for film, Balfe has found additional footing in the video game world. In 2011, Balfe composed alongside Jesper Kyd for the game, ASSASSIN’S CREED: REVELATIONS and earned a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music. A year later in 2012, Balfe was already hard at work composing as a solo composer for SKYLANDERS: GIANTS and ASSASSIN’S CREED III. His score for ASSASSIN’S CREED III would earn Balfe his second BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music, as well as the BSO Goldspirit Award for Best Score for a Video Game. In late 2013 SKYLANDERS: SWAP FORCE as well as BEYOND: TWO SOULS were released. BEYOND: TWO SOULS features performances by Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe and received three BAFTA nominations including one for Best Original Music.
In the Spring of 2014 Lorne composed the score for MANNY, a documentary about the life of Manny Pacquiao, eight-division world champion and ten-time world title winning boxer, which premiered at SXSW. Lorne recently composed the score for Dreamworks Animation’s THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR, due in theaters this Fall 2014 and is now writing the score for Dreamworks Animation’s HOME starring Rihanna, Jim Parsons and Steve Martin.
