Ethan Lewis Maltby
BA (Hons) MA
Ethan Lewis Maltby is a British composer based in Canterbury, Kent. He writes music for TV, Theatre, Cinema and the Concert Hall.
Maltby has scored many films and animations covering many different genres. He has collaborated with Spanish filmmaker Jesús Monllaó on several projects, scoring the award winning 'La Mirada Oblique', 'Gloria', and 'The Legacy', and also with animator Kam-Li Cheng on her stunning animations, 'The Highwayman' and 'Avatara'. In late 2006, Maltby scored 'Waste Man', the Channel 4 documentary on artist Antony Gormley and his sculpture. In theatre, Maltby composed the soundtrack for the first British virtual reality stage play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the score for Hungarian play 'Bloodletting' and several musicals including 'Courtenay' (with lyricist Christopher Neame).
In 2004 Maltby created, composed and directed 'Noise Ensemble', a percussion show which has been touring since 2006. This spectacular show has played extensively in UK theatres and venues including The South Bank Centre, Wembley Stadium and on TV's Blue Peter. It has also toured Russia, Belgium, Holland, South Korea, Switzerland, Norway and Cyprus. He also composed the score for the 2008 and 2009 FA Cup Final Opening Ceremonies – his track 'FA Overture' has since become the player's walk-on anthem for all major FA games.
Maltby's latest theatrical show 'DrumChasers' toured the UK in 2011 with narration by Stephen Fry and received many favourable reviews. He is currently back working on his new musical 'Apparition Smith' before starting pre-production on the score for Jesús Monllaó's debut feature film 'Fill De Cain'.
