Biggi Hilmars ICELAND

The music of Icelandic composer Biggi Hilmars, described as having a 'unique beauty' needs little introduction. His work on film scores, television, movie trailers and commercials, will be familiar to many for its' distinctive, provocative and deeply original sound that combines classical, electronic, ambient, avant-garde and popular influences. 
Iceland's Biggi Hilmars' distinctive, provocative sound, described as having ‘unique beauty’, has fast cemented his status as a unique and prolific film composer. Having made a name for himself for his work on film scores, television, movie trailers and commercials, he has also released four solo albums. With his roots firmly planted in neoclassical, his cinematic soundscapes encapsulate the picturesque beauty of Iceland. His beautifully crafted, melodic music consistently inspires and always feels both contemporary and timeless, taking the listener on a journey.

"Icelandic composers & musicians have mastered the fusion of classic and popular music & Biggi Hilmars is no exception. His music retains the unique beauty & cinematic soundscape that encompasses my love for the sound of Iceland".
​

- Sarah Bridge, Music Supervisor (Theory of everything, The Crown)
