Βιογραφικό

Dirk Campbell was born in 1950 in the British military hospital in Ismailia, Egypt, and lived in Kenya till 1962, so was exposed to indigenous Arab and African music before its acculturation by western influence. In his teens he studied Stravinsky and formed the progressive rock band Egg in 1968 with Dave Stewart and Clive Brooks. In 1972 he studied composition at the Royal College of Music, gaining an ARCM diploma in 1974. He composed the score to David Anderson's BAFTA-winning animated film Dreamland Express in 1983 and began a full-time career as composer in 1989 with film and commercials commissions from Redwing Films. He has since written scores for film, television, advertising, radio and stage. He has also acquired specialist skills on a wide range of ethnic folk instruments which have led to recording work in film, television and computer games. He created two instrumental sound libraries distributed by ILIO Entertainments, World Winds and Origins. His solo CD Music from a Round Tower was released in 1996 and Music From a Walled Garden in 2010. He lectures on music in remote antiquity, and ways of incorporating non-western music into contemporary composition.
