Mark Joseph Rutherford is a British composer and producer whose work appears on records, video games, television programmes, commercials and feature films.

On his return, and under the mentorship of producer Steve Levine,[4] Rutherford learned the techniques of record production, working alongside artists and musicians such as Dave Gilmour, Boy George, Bonnie Tyler, Labi Sifri, Barrington Levy and Motörhead's Lemmy.

[6] Here, Rutherford collaborated with Orbit on many projects including remixes for Peter Gabriel, The Christians, Psychic TV and Yothu Yindi.

He also shared co-production and co-writing credits on Orbit projects including Bassomatic, Strange Cargo and Beth Orton.

For this score, Rutherford made his own percussion kits constructed from bits of metal and various tools which were then scraped and hit with nails, sticks, brushes and mallets.

One of the instruments was made from a three-metre steel girder sitting on a galvanised metal box with various straps and bungee cords attached.

[30][31][32] Rutherford's introduction to feature films and TV came when producer Steve Levine offered him the opportunity to work in his studio in London.

He also performed as an instrumentalist whilst working on feature films including the award-winning Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Eversmile, New Jersey[33][34] and Mister Frost.

[38] Rutherford's work with writer-director Chris Crow has involved him scoring the feature films Devil's Bridge, Panic Button,[39][40][41] A Viking Saga: The Darkest Day[33][42] and The Lighthouse.

Rutherford's music has also featured in the films Hell's Kitchen, Blood Brothers, Sacred Planet and Peace One Day.
