My name is Dan Murtagh (the G is silent!) and I am an LA based Music Composer from England. I have been fortunate enough to compose music for incredible films such as "The Founders", "Limerence" and BBC TV show "Death in Paradise". When I’m not composing Film or Game music, I am usually watching films or playing games!I love using different instruments to help tell a story. To guide a player/viewer/listener on their journey, emphasising certain emotions with the music… that’s what wakes me up in the morning and keeps me in my chair.

Film Composer - NeedlesFreelance May 2022 - Aug 2022"Needles" is a feature length psychological thriller about a young married couple that elopes to her fathers lakeside cabin where they start experiencing supernatural things and then the question becomes if people are worse than the spirit.I had a lot of room to play on this film, the producer/director had a very rough idea of what he was looking for. A lot of gnarly sounds with some strings and piano.

Film Composer - The LickMighty Fine Pictures Jun 2021 - Dec 2021"A covert group of middle aged female martial artists take an unconventional approach to revenge."Really fun comedy short with a great group of very talented people. Took quite a bit of back and forth to figure out the sound for this one, but we managed to create some quite powerful moments.

Film Composer - LimerenceFreelance Mar 2019 - Jun 2019“When 10-Year-Old Park works up the nerve to give the girl across the street a love note, she faces the judgment of those closest to her.”I was asked to compose music for “Limerence” long before filming began. I actually scored it twice! The first time, the producer wanted and 80s/Synthwave soundtrack which was a lot of fun to make. The producer then made a lot of changes to the film and wanted a very minimalist approach, so we ended up with very simple piano and synth pad combo.This was my 2nd film with the amazing Charlene Fisk. It's been a real honor to work with such a remarkable and talented person.

Film Composer - The FoundersFreelance Jan 2016 - Oct 2016“The Founders” is a film about the 13 amazing women that started the LPGA and the impact it had on women’s sport. I was supposed to be working on this film for a little over a month and ended up working on it for almost a year. The music was quite straightforward on this one, mainly piano and strings with acoustic guitar and a few other instruments here and there. When I was being briefed, the term “Golf Music” was used and I actually think that describes it quite well.

Additional Music - Death In ParadiseRed Planet Pictures Aug 2013 - Dec 2015"A British inspector is transferred to Saint-Marie’s police department, but he hates the sun, sea and sand. The series follow his investigations into murders on the island”I composed additional music for “Death in Paradise” over 2 seasons. The music for the first series was a typical “murder mystery” and the music only had a few nods towards a stereotypical “Caribbean” sound. The second series was a little more authentic. The music in that region was typically French-Latin so we added a lot of those elements. -
Film Composer - I TryCandy Floss Productions Jan 2015 - Apr 2015"A disturbed 20 year-old blind girl falls for a man, less connected with society, when he helps her escape from her recent grieving."A lot of very emotional moments in this one. Guitar sounds with some synth pads made up the majority of the score.

Film Composer - Murder CapitalCandy Floss Productions Oct 2014 - Mar 2015"When a promising college student gets brutally murdered by a rival gang looking for his brother, a local detective decides to take matters into his own hands, leading to a brutal showdown."Mainly darker tones used for this short crime drama. A lot of bowed metals and other gnarly sounds!

Music Composer - "Zeo Is Here" Tv/Cinema AdFree Drinks Aug 2013 - Oct 2013I composed music for the £4.2M epic TV/Cinema launch ad for the drink "Zeo". The intense orchestral chase music with a little russian twist was a lot of fun to make. Was a pleasure to work together with Free Drinks and Enter on this impressive campaign.
