Kormac

Since 2019, Kormac has composed scores for several acclaimed TV series and feature films, including This Town, written by Steven Knight and aired on BBC One in early 2024.

His other notable compositions include The Boy That Never Was starring Colin Morgan, The Diplomat featuring Sophie Rundle, and Swift Justice, an Emmy-nominated short film exploring the inner workings of a Taliban courtroom.

Kormac began his musical journey as a hip-hop scratch DJ and MPC beat-maker, evolving into an artist with a distinctive approach to sound design.

Known for transforming samples and acoustic recordings into innovative, genre-defying music, his style is marked by a meticulous blending of live instrumentation and electronic elements.

He soon expanded his live shows by forming Kormac's Big Band, a dynamic ensemble featuring brass, strings, drums, electronics, bass, and guitar.

During the creation of Doorsteps, Kormac sought out collaborators in an unconventional manner—visiting the homes of icons like author Irvine Welsh, Mercury Music Prize winner Speech Debelle, and Texan singer-songwriter Micah P. Hinson, crafting an album that defied categorisation.

He has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, Australia, and Canada, sharing stages with legends such as Portishead, Nas, The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, and Snarky Puppy.

Kormac and his team shaped the series’ musical identity by integrating performances from Dan Carey, Kae Tempest, Gregory Porter, Celeste and Self-Esteem into his score.
