John Altman

Crafting music for Film, TV & Advertising

The story behind the sound

To list the musicians and artists John Altman has performed with or arranged for would take longer than those he hasn’t as his resume reads like a who’s who of every music genre. An Emmy and BAFTA winner, he wrote and produced all the period music for the film Titanic, and is a frequent guest conductor for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2006, he received the Gold Badge of Excellence, the lifetime achievement award of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters, for his contributions to film music. Altman has also scored more than four thousand television advertisements. Cherry on top? He arranged, harmonized, and conducted 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' in Monty Python's Life of Brian.
