Award winning British Film Composer
Sacha Puttnam trained at the Moscow ‘Tchaikovsky’ Conservatory (Conducting and Composition) and Berklee College of Music. Having completed his classical and jazz training he went on to tour the world with Bush. His comprehensive experience and knowledge in all music genres shows in his imaginative and sensitive scoring of over thirty films (working with directors including John Pilger, Robert le Page, Andrea Arnold and John Dryden), numerous radio dramas, podcasts and adverts, as well as his re-working of classic film and his original, intimate piano and full orchestral compositions. Sacha has written and arranged for some of the pop and rock world’s biggest names, scoring multi-platinum albums, and has worked with Moscow, Hallé, and London Studio Orchestras
Most recently Sacha scored Breuer’s Bohemia, a documentary feature directed by James Crump about the Bauhaus designer and architect Marcel Breuer, a ten-part podcast documentary about the 1981 Pakistan Airlines hijack, and a two-part drama for BBC Radio 4, The Jungle Book set in modern day Mombai.
He is currently working on two independent films, one a period drama set in Ireland, and the other a Hollywood quest filled adventure.
Sacha’s most recent album, Spirit of Cinema, was released in November 2020 with a podcast of the same name accompanying each track discussing the original pieces, his versions of them and the films they appeared in.
