Chris Roe is a pianist, composer for film and television. Chris is best known for Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo (2017), Children of the Snow Land (2018), The Cage (2019), Unknown Male Number 1 (2017).
Chris is an award-winning composer and pianist, with a passion for storytelling through music. He is represented by SMA Talent and is part of the BAFTA Crew 2018.
Chris’ music has been described as ‘brilliantly unnerving’, ‘poignant and ‘highly energetic’. Recent projects include the feature documentary Spitfire, distributed byAlititude, Murder in Italy, a 4 part series for Sky/BBC Storyville, thriller feature Charismata, and an upcoming documentary for Pulse Films/BBC 2 about a revolutionary HIV drug. On top of this, Chris has set himself the challenge of writing a new track each week as part of his #Friday50 project.
With a background as pianist and string player, as well as a summer spent exploring electronic music in Paris, Chris blends piano with orchestral textures and synths, working tirelessly to find a distinctive sound for each project. For example, his score for Mission Control about NASA’s Apollo-era combined full orchestra with vintage synths, whereas for Murder in Italy’s tragic story, Chris used electronics to distort the beautiful voices of the Fieri Consort.Bio from http://chrisroemusic.com
