Sheffield’s cinematic soundtrackers Mark Daly and Michael Harding have worked together since 2005, establishing a reputation in the UK for their unique live re-score events, performing at cinemas, festivals and other venues across the country with cult films including Dark Star (John Carpenter), Belleville Rendezvous (Sylvain Chomet), Un Homme Qui Dort (Bernard Queysanne) and The Straight Story (David Lynch).
The careful preparation and attention to detail that they bring to each project is incomparable. The fact that they also work with the existing dialogue and incorporate it into the live performance, plus add other people’s tunes into the mix as well as their own tracks, means that they are effectively working as music supervisors and sound editors as well as original score writers (but all done live in real time).
