Paul Hartnoll

British soundtrack artist Paul Hartnoll – creator of scores for feature films, Peaky Blinders, BBC science documentaries and commercials for clients from Rolex to Volkswagen – brings a wealth of experience from wider, no less vital worlds to the screen

Born in 1968 and raised in suburban Sevenoaks in Kent, Hartnoll grew up experiencing a run of priceless pop culture moments from London punk through early hip hop to the rave and electronic dance music revolution of the 90s. 

With Orbital, his world-renowned electronic duo with brother Phil, Paul Hartnoll took the DIY world of bedroom synth music first to the global dance floor (famously Orbital’s debut hit, the classic ‘Chime’, was made at home on cassette) and then to festivals worldwide in the 90s. Along the way, Orbital’s epic live shows created a new unmissable moment for events from Glastonbury to Coachella.
