Will Gardner is a composer and orchestral arranger known for working along the thresholds of both contemporary classical and experimental electronic music.

His diverse body of work can be heard across studio albums, film scores, commissions and live performances- often combining a foundational knowledge of classical music with elements of experimentation, improvisation, deep listening and electro-acoustic sound design.

“I think he’s a real genius”
David Gilmour

His debut LP Remains (Castles in Space, 2023) is personal story about memory & care-work, told through disfigured soundscapes & impressionist piano. The record was aired on BBC Radio 3, Radio 6, and praised as “a beautiful album I think may touch many” (Derek Walmsley, formed editor of The Wire).

As a versatile and curious collaborator, Will has scored arrangements for visionary artists like alt-J, Daughter, hmltd, Låpsley and *David Gilmour*** - for whom he crafted all the orchestral and choral elements on his number one record Luck & Strange.

Other notable work includes orchestrating numerous scores for film & tv including BAFTA-nominated Blue Jean (composed by Chris Roe), Sky Atlantic’s Tin Star (composed by Adrian Corker) and working as an arranger and rehearsal pianist on Matthew Barney’s operatic film River of Fundament - starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ellen Burstyn, Paul Giamatti, Debbie Harry.

“When Will’s on board I know an extra magic will appear in the material I’m working on. No matter how I describe a vision he always seems to grasp and translate it into the music effortlessly, whilst adding an extra dimension that I didn’t know could exist.”
Charlie Andrew (David Gilmour, alt-J, Wolf Alice, London Grammar)
