简介：John Lunn’s music possesses a wonderfully unique voice that spans the spectrum of musical style. Classically trained yet contemporary in attitude, he combines a highly intelligent and sensitive approach with a sound that always finds the emotional core of drama. Along with the highest production values, and a continual desire to discover new colours and sounds, it is not hard to see why John is continuously busy. For film, John scored the new IMAX film Giant Screen Bugs, narrated by Dame Judi Dench for Principal Films. Other film credits include the FilmFour/Shane Meadows film Once Upon a Time in the Midlands (Kathy Burke, Robert Carlyle, Rhys Ifans), Get Real, directed by Simon Shore, winner of the Audience Award, Edinburgh and Dinard International Festivals, and The Wisdom Of Crocodiles, directed by Po Chih Leong for Zenith Films.
