Will Bates (of Fall On Your Sword) is an award winning composer and graduate of the University of Westminster and the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied music composition and jazz saxophone. As a saxophonist, Bates has collaborated with a myriad of legendary artists ranging from 60's icon Lulu to techno legend Marshall Jefferson. A prolific producer and composer Bates has collaborated with a similarly diverse bunch including Mike Rutherford, Roy Ayers and Morcheeba's Skye Edwards. As a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist, Bates has recorded and toured under the name of his own post-punk band The Rinse and collaborated with Electric Six front-man Dick Valentine as The Evil Cowards.

Bates’ first outings as a film composer bore fruit quickly as he scored Ry Russo-Young's “You Won't Miss Me,” which premiered at Sundance and won a Gotham Award. In 2007, Bates created the first of a series of videos under the name Fall On Your Sword. His videos quickly went viral on YouTube, racking up hits in the millions and an explosive FOYS live act soon followed. In 2009, he teamed up with Phil Mossman to create the critically acclaimed score to 'Another Earth'. Bates recently made his first steps into the art world with his highly acclaimed interactive installation piece Sea Of Fire, first shown during the 2012 Armory Art Week in New York. Also in 2012, Fall On Your Sword received the honor of a Discovery of the Year nomination from the World Soundtrack Academy. Now, Bates is back scoring solo with 'We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks' by Alex Gibney.
