Tristin Norwell is a British music composer, best known for his film and television scores and record production.
His first score was for the 2001 film Beginner's Luck starring Julie Delpy and Steven Berkoff. He co-wrote hundreds of episodes of prime time television including 55 Degrees North, Waterloo Road,[1] Drop Dead Gorgeous, Hope Springs, and The Invisibles for the BBC. The score for Ashley Pharoah ITV series Wild at Heart was subsequently released by AWAL.
Further scores include John Hurt's Whistle and I'll Come to You,[2] the supernatural ghost story written by M.R. James, Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa! starring Michael Sheen, Abi Morgan's adaptation of Syal's novel Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee, and David Tennant's Recovery. Frank Cottrell Boyce's television play God on Trial and Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story featured Julie Walters.[3]
Norwell's scores include two John Hardwick feature films Svengali starring Jonny Owens and Martin Freeman[4] and Hardwick's documentary feature "Follow The Money (Feature Documentary 2015)". Norwell also composed the music for ITV series "Trouble Abroad",[5] the award winning [6] Yotam Ottolenghi's "Jerusalem On a Plate"[7] and the Ian Barnes short film MatchHead (2013).[8]
He co-composed the short film Wish 143, directed by Ian Barnes, which was nominated for the 2011 Academy Award for Live Action Short Film.[9]
He worked on production of the Yann Demange film '71 winner of the 2015 Ivor Novello award for Best Soundtrack.[10]
He co-produced, recorded and mixed the Talvin Singh,[11] album "O.K." which won the 1999 Mercury Music Prize.
Solo work
Mal Influence (2015)
In October 2014, Norwell released his solo debut Mal Influence, on his Cinefonietta Label, an experimental album melding his classical influences with electronica.[12] Critiques have described it "as tough and breakable as glass...somewhere between chamber pop, the ambience of quieter Aphex Twin" [13] and that "it never adds up to anything less than compelling" [14]
