Phil Lawrence, film composer in London

In the fast-turnaround world of newspaper and promotional commercials, library music was historically our only option. Phil Lawrence revolutionised all this, providing a service whereby we could now commission original / arranged material at high speed. Particularly relevant for our Sunday Times and The Times productions is Phil’s ability to “re-create” classical music completely from scratch and seamlessly edited to any specific commercial length. Whatever our requirements, from nine to thirty-nine second versions of any classic, Phil met any deadline no matter how short, with the track sounding as if the BBC Symphony Orchestra had recorded it, or an originally composed generic theme in any style. Phil has always attacked the task at hand with intelligence, professionalism, but most importantly, creativity and passion.

You know where you are with Phil, he's got imagination and explains in detail how he'd like the job done, and this makes it easy in mine. Working with him is easy & calm one is never stressed or under pressure, it's just a great experience working with him and for me!  September 22, 2009.

Philip is a real pro, always trying to find that extra something for the project. I have no hesitation in recommending Phil to provide musical composition for the simplest arrangement to the most complex orchestration. Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative.  September 16, 2009.

Phil Lawrence is simply the Man. Hard working, insightful, diligent and highly creative, with an enormous understanding of the history of music/instrumentation to the present day. Equipped with his own small but wonderful recording studio and professional facilities he meets every deadline delivering quality, on time, every time. Apart form all this he is a charming and witty man that makes working with him a real pleasure. I can thoroughly recommend him as the best when you need professionally written/composed music. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert.
