David Norland

Known for his scores for drama and documentaries and his experimental choral and electronic music, David Norland is an English composer living and working in London and Los Angeles.

His screen work includes the score to the Emmy-nominated HBO film “My Dinner with Herve” starring Peter Dinklage and Jamie Dornan, the Emmy-winning documentary “Anvil! The Story of Anvil”, and much of the music for US broadcasting giant ABC’s primetime documentaries such as the multiple-award-winning “20/20”. His work for ABC has been nominated for an Emmy and is broadcast in the US and around the world on a daily basis.

A chorister from an early age, and a boy treble in touring choir The Elizabethan Consort of Voices, alongside his screen work he also composes choral music, as well as being a long-time acolyte of all things dub and low-end – he earned a Grammy nomination for his writing and production work with Jamaican legends Sly and Robbie.

He is signed to German experimental/neo-classical label Denovali Records and is currently scoring the LiveNation documentary “All Permits Secured”, a valentine to EDM and the early rave scene. 2025 will see the completion of experimental audiovisual art project “Carousel’ with Canadian film artist Dan Popa. The score will be released on Denovali.
