LATEST UPDATES
The last few months have certainly seen a very varied collection of projects:
A new biopic about the early, traumatic days of John Lennon, called Nowhere Boy, has been completed, directed by Sam Taylor Wood. The score is by Will Gregory and Alison Goldfrapp, otherwise known as Goldfrapp, and I was called in to orchestrate and conduct the sessions at Abbey Road – naturally enough in Studio Two where the Beatles made history forty years ago. The film was released on Boxing Day to great acclaim
A new film starring Denzel Washington called "The Book Of Eli" and co-starring the ever menacing Gary Oldman, has a score by new comer Atticus Ross, and I very much enjoyed conducting the eighty piece orchestra at Abbey Road last month for his suitably apocalyptic music ( Naturally Denzel saves the world from Armageddon) The film has just been released.
Just before Christmas I conducted a score for a new French film called "La Rafle" with a score by Christian Henson. The film tells the very painful story about how the French police were complicit in rounding up the Jews in France for deportation to the concentration camps. The movie will be released in France this spring.
In September, Mitch Winehose, father of Amy, recorded a swing band album, on which he does a reasonable imitation of Frank Sinatra. I arranged and conducted one of the tracks and met the man himself who explained that some of the proceeds from the sale of the album would go towards building a new rehabilitation centre. I worked with him again this month to complete the album.
In October, I headed a four man orchestration team to score 120 minutes of music (in a week!) for a new film, “Leap Year” with music composed by Randy Edelman, with whom I worked on “Mummy 3” last year.
The film stars Amy Adams and will be released in the spring.

NICK'S WORK PROCESS
In the two fields in which I work, pop and film, my work process can vary from one extreme to another. As with all things, information is power, or in my case, information is the key to a successful project. When I am hired, whether as an arranger, an orchestrator or conductor, the amount of information I can get from the client will make my job harder or easier...
Nick Ingman is an established composer, arranger, orchestrator and conductor in the commercial music field who has worked with some of the most prestigious names in the world of entertainment.
For over forty years Nick has provided the backdrop to many iconic and high profile records and films. Often bridging the gap between the classical music field and the commercial area, Nick has brought his considerable experience to a number of successful projects. As well as working in the field, Nick's career has included starting one of the first Commercial Music Courses in the country at the Royal Academy of Music, and the number of his students who have gone on to have successful careers of their own, confirms his success as an educator.
