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 movies, television and commercials, and produces other artists. He is a three times Jerry Goldsmith Awards Finalist (2013, 2012, 2010), and was nominee at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards 2012.

His credits include many successful records, among them a No. 1 hit single and various Top Ten chart entries as well as international Platinum and Gold Record Awards. He recorded frequently in Berlin´s Hansa Studios (Depeche Mode, U2, David Bowie) and worked with artists like Motörhead producer Guy Bidmead, Ten Years After, Rage, Coroner, Rasca Cocous (with Seeed producer Olsen Involtini), Gil Ofarim, Jam & Spoon, and also actors like Diether Krebs, Dieter Hallervorden and Frank Zander.

zimmermitaussicht
Gary Marlowe is the co-founder of zimmermitaussicht.com, a creative collective of international composers, led by himself and Daniel Hoffknecht (#1 German Album charts 2013, double platinum record award with German singer Tim Bendzko). They form project based teams to produce music for film, TV, and commercials. As the individual members are connected digitally via Internet, they work simultaneously in geographically separated studios, while working as a group, in real time, on the very same project. With this concept, the collective can work much faster than a single composer, while simultaneously aumenting the artistic quality.

Studio Work
Gary Marlowe is also active as a studio musician, soloist and producer. He owns a recording studio built with studio designer Dario Paini, with a collection of rare vintage instruments, ULTRA | VIOLET recording, in the village of Schleching, in the Bavarian/Austrian Alps, near Kitzbühel and Salzburg, and collaborates with partner studios in Berlin. Final mixes are preferreably elaborated with the additional help of Hans-Martin Buff, former personal engineer for Prince at Paisley Park Studios. Recent productions featuring instrumental performances by Gary Marlowe include Sofi de la Torre, Shelly Phillips, and a Tears for Fears remix.

Art Installations
Gary Marlowe´s log term interest in art led him to develop his concept of aural frames, site-specific ambient music installations for indoor and outdoor spaces, which got exhibited internationally, as by the Biennale di Venezia (music for the Biennale´s 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, often in collaboration with painters, sculptors or video artists.
