about
Lucie is a composer creating music for animation, film, video games, opera, theatre and beyond. Her unique sense of colour, play, and texture – combined with her deep appreciation of acoustic instruments from across the globe – produces vibrant and arresting scores. The contours and colours of the Scottish Highland landscapes where she grew up have shaped her lilting melodies and vivid harmonic language.
She has composed for major UK venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Kings Place, the Saatchi Gallery, the Royal Opera House, Cadogan Hall, and the Southbank Centre. Her music has been commissioned by Scottish Opera, the Multi-Story Orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, Orchestra for the Earth, English Touring Opera, the Aldeburgh Festival, and a 1,200-strong Haringey children’s choir and orchestra. In 2022, she recorded her orchestral short film score Microscopia at AIR Studios with a 50-piece orchestra. Clients include Netflix, Ustwo Games, Nexus Studios, the Environmental Justice Foundation, Loewe, Shygirl, Giphy, Universal Music, and Room to Read. Her work also involves sound design and audio implementation in video game engines, with a strong focus on music production.
She recently completed music and sound design for Monument Valley 3 (Netflix) in collaboration with Todd Baker, earning nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Composition and Sound Design at both DICE and Develop. Lucie also composed music for the 52-episode children’s series BeddyByes (BBC) and is currently working on Stan & Gran for Milkshake!, as well as a new PlayStation title.
Lucie is passionate about socially impactful projects. She scored She Creates Change, an animated mini-series about pioneering young women around the world, produced by Nexus Studios and charity Room to Read and premiered on the Discovery Channel. She also enjoys co-creating music with communities, most recently through a series of sound-walks in the north of Scotland funded by the Scottish Government, titled Remembering Together, and a sound work for an installation at Duncansby Lighthouse, John o’ Groats, incorporating voices and sounds from the local community.
As a teenager, she studied at the Purcell School of Music, developing her compositional and performance skills in classical music. She holds an MA in Scoring for Film and Video Games from Berklee College of Music and a BA in Ethnomusicology from SOAS.
Stitched into her compositions are rich instrumental textures: Lucie plays a wide array of instruments, from the Swedish nyckelharpa to Balinese gamelan and musical saw. She has performed with ensembles such as Penguin Cafe and Lydian Collective, appearing at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Green Man Festival, and most recently the unique Arctic festival Snow Station Vadsø. Lucie uses her singing voice extensively in her work, performing solo vocal and instrumental parts for projects including the recent film Relay (starring Riz Ahmed and Lily James), as well as the video games Alto's Odyssey and Warhammer III. She contributed additional music to the Netflix film Outlaw King (starring Chris Pine and Florence Pugh), for which she also performed nyckelharpa and vocals. For each project, she crafts bespoke samples and sounds that fuse unusual acoustic instruments with electronics and field recordings, building her own virtual instruments as part of Folklorica—a meeting of technology and mythology.
Following her ears and her heart, Lucie thrives on working across genres and disciplines. She draws on her diverse musical training and production skills to instinctively create music and sound for story, image, movement, and play.
