Irish born composer, Kim Carroll, began studying music in County Cork at the age of five and writing music at the age of nine. Today he writes and records on over 40 instruments collected from all over the world, including charango, ronroco, fretted violin, bowed guitar, prepared piano, and bowed mandolin. In many of his compositions, Carroll performs all of the instruments. He uses live instruments, accompanied with acoustic and electric instruments that are manipulated through vintage analog equipment. He has been exploring alternate ways of creating sounds from the guitar for years, which has lead to bowing, hammering and deconstructing the traditional way of playing instruments.
Carroll is a 2009 Sundance Composer Fellow and was awarded ‘Gold Medal of Excellence’ for the music he wrote for the thriller, ‘The Colony’, at the 2008 Park City Film Music Festival in Utah. He co-scored ‘The Uninvited’ with Harry Gregson-Williams (Shrek, Man on Fire, Narnia). Carroll also wrote the music for the critically acclaimed Sundance feature, ‘The Horse Boy.’ His latest scores include the drama ‘Thinspiration,’ crime/drama ‘Across The Line: The Exodus of Charlie Wright,’ starring Aidan Quinn, Andy Garcia and Gina Gershon, the drama/comedy ‘Congratulations.’ and the dramatic feature, ‘Gone Missing.’
Throughout his career, Carroll has also lent his skills as performer, arranger and producer to other musicians. His music credits include Sinead O’Connor, Train, SONOS, Paul Buchanan/Blue Nile and Gary Jules (#1 UK hit with the song ‘Mad World’ from the film Donnie Darko). Carroll’s work is also featured on several soundtracks, including Chronicles of Narnia (Prince Caspian), Lincoln Lawyer, The Town, Gone, Baby, Gone, Veronica Guerin and Domino.
