About

Ilse Marrowby live photo 1

Ilse Marrowby writes music for pictures: intimate string writing for small films, big-hearted orchestral themes for games and restless textures for television.

Trained as a violist, she writes at a desk full of synthesizers and records her strings in a converted church. Her score for the indie adventure game Emberwick was played live to picture by a sixty-piece orchestra on launch night, and she is now scoring her third feature. Available for film, series and game projects.
