Chris Roe is an Ivor Novello-nominated composer whose work combines an acoustic palette with a contemporary edge. A classically trained pianist and string player with a love for experimental music, Chris is equally at home working with a full orchestra as with a broken tape machine or vintage synth and is meticulous in building a distinctive palette for each project. 

His most recent credits include the Paramount dark comedy-thriller Bad Apples starring Saoirse Ronan. Chris’ previous film work has included The Salt Path starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, Blue Jean (winning the audience award at the Venice Film Festival) as well as scoring BAFTA-winning film After Love.

In TV, Chris has recently scored true crime thriller The Lady for The Crown producers Left Bank Pictures as well as new Anthony Horowitz thriller series Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue for MGM+/BBC. He has previously scored 6-part thriller Wolf for BBC 1 as well as all four series of Jed Mercurio’s Trigger Point and Payback, also with HTM Television.

In the documentary space, Chris has collaborated twice with Ridley Scott Associates and Netflix, scoring the series Surviving Black Hawk Down and the International Emmy-nominated series Robbie Williams, which earned Chris a Music+Sound Award nomination for Best Original Score.
