I’m a composer, musician and music producer based in Glasgow, Scotland
Hi, my name’s David Simpson. I specialise in composing music to complement any project, utilising a broad base of musicianship and a wealth of experience to evoke the perfect mood, no matter the genre or style required.
In 2003, I graduated from Strathclyde University with first-class honours, specialising in Music For Film and Sound Production. Since then I have worked on numerous projects, most recently including co-writing the score for The House Of Him (dir. Robert Florence), premiered at the 2014 Glasgow Film Festival, and providing additional music and arrangement on Dennis The Menace And Gnasher (Red Kite Animation, CBBC Channel) and Wendy (Red Kite Animation, ZDF, Germany), the latter of which was nominated for a Pulcinella Award at Cartoons On The Bay.
Earlier credits include contributing music to the Scottish BAFTA-winning documentary film, The Walking Wounded, composing theme and incidental music for the BBC Alba series, Ferry Tales/Thar An Aiseag, and arranging and performing music for the BBC 1 children’s drama, Half Moon Investigations.
