ABOUT

Ronnie Christopher Doyle-130.jpg
 

Inspired in no small part by the early minimalists, No Wave New York and experimental electronica, Doyle's music blends a focus on an interrelation between texture and atmosphere with a searing, experimental edge.

Born in Wexford, Ireland, Doyle began performing as a choral singer in various school plays and productions. He took lead soprano for several years before being selected to perform in a 1997 performance of Ottorino Respighi's 'La Fiamma'. After many years of choral work, Doyle decided to pursue film scoring and moved to the UK to study for his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth in 2006, where he landed his first scoring assignment on Amber Pictures' science fiction horror, Bane. He later began studying music privately with clarinetist Mari Carmen Garzás and Australian cellist Linda Weddell.

The over 30 film and solo projects featuring Ronnie’s work include Hughes William Thompson’s award-winning film A New Man (for which Ronnie was nominated for Best Original Score at the London Music + Sound Awards) and Martin Monk’s German production Awake [which earned Ronnie a nomination for Best Music at the Berlin Fashion Film Festival].

American critic Randall D. Larson cited him as "a very promising newcomer" to film scoring, lauding the "compelling, melismatic sound patterns" of his music. whilst film producer Warren Duenas hailed Doyle for his "supreme work", describing him as "one of the UK's finest composers". Director Vasco Xü praised Doyle's "strong, musical personality" evident in his rich, dark string score to Walking Legend Pictures' Chinese drama, Twin Lotus.
