Ian Arber is an emerging talent in the film music world. With a growing portfolio of work across a variety of genres, in 2016, he scored two feature documentaries about Olympic legends Usain Bolt (I Am Bolt), and Sir Mo Farah (Mo Farah: No Easy Mile). His documentary scores are characterized by strong musical contributions from musicians, such as hip-hop legend Nas appearing in the opening titles to I Am Bolt and the involvement of co-composer Blur drummer Dave Rowntree on Mo Farah: No Easy Mile. Other recent works in Arber’s filmography include assisting Joe Kraemer on the blockbuster Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation as well providing music for the BBC2 period comedy Quacks.

While making himself well-known through his involvement in sports documentaries, Ian Arber tackles a fictionalized account of a fighter through the same keen insight for human drama. As he explains: “The My Name is Lenny score is a dark, psychological, brutal and epic journey. The score is made up of distorted tones, experimental percussion and delicate atmospheric guitars and piano. Boxing glove punches were recorded as a percussive element throughout fight scenes. A heavily distorted cello represents Lenny’s abusive stepfather, and Lenny’s girlfriend Val’s influence is accented with a gentle melodic guitar motif in the score’s most delicate moments.”
