My Take

Lorne Balfe is one of those composers whose work you've almost certainly heard without knowing his name. A Scotsman from Inverness, born in 1976, he scores film, television, and video games with a versatility I find genuinely impressive. Coming out of the Hans Zimmer school, he's developed a muscular, propulsive sound that works as well in blockbusters as in games. What I admire is his range across mediums that many composers treat as separate worlds. He keeps an active online presence too, which feels rare for a film composer. I always pay attention when his name appears in the credits, because the music tends to do real work.
