ABOUT

His concert music has been performed internationally, including performances by players from the London Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His new work, titled Black Gold, for chamber ensemble and electronics, was recently premiered by the London Symphony Orchestra in May 2024.

Luke also frequently collaborates on audiovisual performances, particularly with New York-based artist, Nate Mohler. Luke’s A/V work has been featured at the Barbican Centre, SXSW, The Wallace Collection and Art Basel.
While studying at UCLA, Luke was introduced to the film music industry by interning and then working at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions. He then traveled to London where he graduated from the Royal College of Music with a Master’s of Music in Composition.
Since then he has regularly worked on large-scale film and television projects providing both orchestration and music preparation. His credits include Silo, Loki, Prehistoric Planet, Grace, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Wild Robot. His orchestrations have been recorded at Abbey Road, AIR and Angel Studios in London.
