David Julyan began writing music for short films whilst studying at University College London. It was here that David first collaborated with director Christopher Nolan and in 1998 scored Nolan’s first feature Following. This low budget movie was filmed on weekends over a six month period, Following went on to become an unexpected Indie hit.
His work is perhaps best know through their later collaborations; Memento and The Prestige. The later two helping to cement David’s style for seamlessly blending orchestra with atmospheric electronics, to produce subtle and brooding scores.
Subtlety was put aside for the score to Neil Marshall’s horror film The Descent giving David the opportunity to create one of his biggest works to date, with it’s dramatic use of orchestra and choir.
Although best known for his dark and atmospheric scores that blend orchestra and electronics, David has also scored films like the heart-warming Irish drama Inside I’m Dancing.
Recent work includes Eden Lake, The Descent Part 2 and Heartless.
