Decca Publishing today announces the signing of acclaimed Grammy, Ivor Novello and Golden Globe nominated composer and musician Clint Mansell to a long-term, worldwide publishing deal.
Over the course of the last two decades, Mansell has scored some of film’s most acclaimed and iconic features including ‘Moon’, ‘Requiem For A Dream’, ‘Black Swan’ and ‘High Rise’ and has become one of cinema’s most revered and in-demand composers. Together, Mansell and Decca Publishing will work on new creative projects and collaborations across score, live performance and other creative endeavors whilst maximizing future opportunities across his extensive catalogue.
His longstanding collaborative partnership with film director Darren Aronofsky began in 1998, with his first original score for ‘Pi’, Aronofsky’s acclaimed independent feature debut. This working relationship has seen Mansell create acclaimed and award-winning cinematic scores for ‘Requiem For A Dream’ (2000), ‘The Fountain’ (2006), ‘The Wrestler’ (2008), ‘Black Swan’ (2010) and ‘Noah’ (2014).
Alongside his work with Aronofsky, Mansell has forged relationships with other like-minded creatives. In 2009 he provided the score for Duncan Jones’ award-winning directorial debut ‘Moon’ (2009) and more recently for ‘Mute’ (2017). He scored the remarkable hand painted and Oscar-nominated ‘Loving Vincent’ (2017), and the double Emmy winning ‘San Junipero’ (2016) episode of Charlie Brooker’s ‘Black Mirror’ for Netflix. He recently scored ‘Titans’ (2018), a DC Universe web series from DC Comics, now available through Netflix.
Other standout projects include working with director Massy Tadjedin on ‘Last Night’ (2010) and the forthcoming ‘Berlin, I Love You’ (2019). His dystopian score for Ben Wheatley’s take on J G Ballard’s ‘High Rise’ (2016) received an Ivor Novello nomination, with the pair reuniting for ‘Happy New Year, Colin Burstead’ (2018). ‘Filth’ (2013), the film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s novel, directed by Jon S Baird, was also scored by Mansell. His first project working with Carol Morley, the noir, offbeat, ‘Out Of Blue’ (2019) premiered at London Film Festival will be released later this year.
For the first time in his career, Mansell’s entire catalogue of musical works and compositions will be publiA$AP Rocky, Bastille and Paul Oakenfold.
