Alex Baranowski, BAFTA, BBC, Composer, Film, Music, Soundtrack, Television Very proud that after winning Best EuropeanTV Movie of the Year prize at Prix Europa earlier in 2020, the film also picked up a BAFTA nomination for Best Single Drama. It was a really special project to be a part of, and I’m really proud of the score which was released by Sony Classical.
Album, Alex Baranowski, BBC, Composer, Soundtrack, Television After eleven months of lockdown feeling like the new normal, it’s still hard to believe that we managed to make two whole series of Staged totally remotely on zoom. It was a complete joy to score Series 2, with a brilliant list of guest stars including Michael Palin, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Cate Blanchet, Christoph Waltz, Whoopi Goldberg…...
Alex Baranowski, Commercial, Composer, Film, Music, News, Television Very happy to announce that I've composed the score to Taika Waititi's brilliant short film for Coca Cola Christmas. Following a Dad's epic journey across the world to deliver a letter, the score was recorded remotely at the Czech Television Sound Stage last month.

Alex Baranowski, Audio, BBC, Composer, Television Very happy to announce I've been composing music for a brilliant new six part comedy called "Staged" staring David Tennant, Michael Sheen (and some special guests yet to be announced). Directed by Simon Evans - Simon and I were due to be opening a theatre production in Chichester just before lockdown - so he wrote this rather wonderful comedy (about a play cancelled by Covid-19) when it was cancelled (all coming together from conception to near completion in just over a month). The score is written for bass clarinet ensemble and Calor Gas bottle (one of my new favourite percussion......
Alex Baranowski, BBC, Composer, News, Television I was honoured to be asked to compose the music for this beautiful 90 second film made by the BBC in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Collaborating completely remotely – the edit, mix, grade and creative process was all done on Zoom meetings (with Idris’ voiceover being recorded on an iPhone). The score was recorded...

Album, Alex Baranowski, BBC, Blog, Composer, Film, Music, Soundtrack, Television I've recently recorded this live piano version of "A Life Lived" from The Windermere Children in my studio. Whilst the production was still filming, I was so moved after reading the script for the first time - so sat at the piano and tried to put down some of the emotions that came out; thinking about how those children must have felt arriving in Windermere after being freed from Auschwitz and Theresienstadt weeks before. It's not often that a script can move you to tears like that! A shortened version appears in the end credits of the film, but the......
Alex Baranowski, BBC, Composer, Film, Music, News, Orchestra, Soundtrack, String Arranger, Television Very happy that The Windermere Children is being broadcast today on BBC Two (UK) and ZDF (Germany) on Holocaust Memorial Day – the first drama of it’s kind to be broadcast simultaneously like this in the UK and Germany. It was hugely special composing the music for this film (I’ve written in other posts about...
