Silva Screen presents the Original Television Soundtrack for Lucan. Award winning composer Ben Bartlett’s spellbinding and atmospheric score to ITV's two-part period drama.
Based on the life of flamboyant aristocrat, Lord Lucan, and written by award-winning writer, Jeff Pope, the series stars Rory Kinnear, Catherine McCormac and Christopher Eccleston.
Murder, self-destruction and moral squalor set against the backdrop of jittery aristocracy deliver a compelling drama. Ben Bartlett's music conveys the uneasy mood perfectly.
Ben Bartlett is a London based TV and concert composer known for his prolific music output for drama, comedy and documentaries.
Recently, Ben’s music was featured in SKY 1 hit series Stan Lee’s Lucky Man, ITV’s The Loch, Sky Atlantic’s critically acclaimed The Tunnel.
