About Richard

Richard Campbell is a South African film composer, arranger and orchestrator based in the United Kingdom.

His scoring credits include the short films Business As Usual (screened on Showmax in collaboration with AFDA) and The Turtle Graveyard (screened at UWE Wildlife in Film 2022). He has also scored the theatre production Night of the Iguana, staged in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 2019, and the keynote presentation Breaking Chains by Rusty Labuschagne that has been presented all over South Africa.

As a composer of production music, he is currently working on an album for MamaDance Music Solutions in Cape Town, and has released an instrumental EP called Dreams, currently streaming on all major platforms.

Richard has worked as an arranger and orchestrator since 2007 and has been sought-after for this skill by local and international clients. He has been involved in musical theatre, acting as Musical Director for productions such as Evita, Annie Get Your Gun, and The Pirates of Penzance, for which he also orchestrated the entire score.

Richard's music embraces a harmonic cinematic style, influenced by giants such as Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams, as well as experimenting with “found sounds” as a means of creating new sonic landscapes. His music is designed to speak to the audience's emotional responses and draw them deeper into what they see on stage or screen, and his work, paired with his ability to tackle a variety genres, has been well-received by his diverse clientele, making him a valuable asset to any production looking for the right music to enhance their vision.

"Richard is one of those rare composers who can put aside their own agendas and truly listen to what your creative ideas are, and then interpret them absolutely brilliantly and deliver a first-class score for a production."
