Gary Marlowe
Gary Marlowe is a film composer and music producer working in Bavaria, Berlin, Milan and Los Angeles.

Life and career
Born in Berlin, West Germany, he started playing piano at age four. He started as a professional musician in the 1980ies, as a session keyboardist, and soon became a producer. He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, keyboards, guitar, drums, bass, buzuk, saz, oud, ethnic flutes, percussion, and he is a singer. His credits include many successful records, among them a No. 1 hit single and various Top Ten chart entries. He recorded regularly in Berlin´s legendary Hansa Studios (Depeche Mode, U2, David Bowie) and worked with artists like Motörhead producer Guy Bidmead, Ten Years After, Rage, Coroner, Seeed producer Olsen Involtini, or comedians Diether Krebs, Dieter Hallervorden and Frank Zander.

Gary Marlowe studied Composition for Film with the Academy Award winners Luis Bacalov and Nicola Piovani at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy. He works primarily for film, television and advertisement, and produces other artists. He was finalist at the Jerry Goldsmith Awards 2010 and 2012, and nominee for Best Commercial Score at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards 2012.

His longterm interest in art led him to develop aural frames, ambient music installations, which got exhibited by the Biennale di Venezia (music for the Richard Nonas exhibition) and Scatola Bianca ("requiem | repeat", personal exhibition in collaboration with Gianni Moretti) in Italy. aural frames are being developed as site-specific projects for indoor and outdoor environments.

He owns a designer-built studio, ULTRA | VIOLET recording, in the village of Schleching, in the Bavarian Alps, near Kitzbühel and Salzburg. His numerous collaborations include Hans-Martin Buff, who worked at Paisley Park Studios as personal engineer for Prince, and other international artists, soloists, producers, composers and engineers, including Tiziana Gasparoni, Daniel Hoffknecht, Fulvio Zafret, Ben Mono, Alberto Roveroni, Cecil Remmler, Laura Bee, DJ Jondal, Alessandro de Crescenzo, and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Trieste. In 2012, he worked on a UNESCO web series, being chosen as composer alongside Nine Inch Nails and Moby.

Gary Marlowe is the co-founder of zimmermitaussicht.com, a creative collective of extraordinarily talented international composers, led by himself and Daniel Hoffknecht (double platinum awarded for his work with German star Tim Bendzko). they form project based teams to produce music for film, TV, and advertisement. as the individual members are connected digitally via Internet, they work simultaneously, physically staying in geographically separated studios, while working as a group, in real time, on the very same project. with this innovative concept, the collective can work much faster than a single composer could, while simultaneously pushing the artistic quality - the idea is to form a highly creative type of swarm intelligence.
