Julian Nott: How to be a Film Composer

Julian Nott came to music relatively late. After studying
Music and Politics and Economics at Oxford University, he worked
for a management consultancy firm in the City for a number
of  years. Finding that not entirely to his liking, he
enrolled in the UK’s National Film And Television School, funding
his studies by simultaneously working freelance for the Economist
Publications. After film school, Julian worked as an independent
documentary film producer, making films for Channel Four
Television, Arte Channel and WGBH Boston. Along the way he
qualified as a (non-practising) barrister. 


At film school, Julian met the animator Nick Park, writing the
music for his early Wallace and Gromit films. When these films
became such a huge success, the offers starting come in and
Julian switched to film scoring full time. His work still
includes much animation (“Wallace and Gromit in the The Curse of
the Wererabbit”, “Peppa Pig”, “Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom”,
“The Hungry Caterpillar”). Feature films credits include “The
Decoy Bride”, “My Mother’s Courage”, “Heavy Petting” and “A Man
Of No Importance”. On television, credits include all four series
of the BBC’s popular “Lark Rise to Candleford”, ITV's "The Vice"
and David Jason’s comedy “The Royal Bodyguard”.
