CHARLIE ARMOUR
MUSIC COMPOSER

My journey into music composition began in the mid-1990s when I discovered the world of computer music sequencing. This newfound passion led me to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Music and Sound, where I immersed myself in sound design and music arrangements for film and television projects. Equipped with a solid foundation in music theory and production techniques, I embarked on a fulfilling career as a film and video game composer.

​

Video games have always held a special place in my heart, both as a player and as a composer, and sound designer. I've had the privilege of contributing to several noteworthy titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, Ubisoft's Beyond Good and Evil 2, and indie gems like Lifeless Planet, Blue Collar Astronaut, and Arcana: Sands of Destiny. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also deepened my appreciation for the symbiotic relationship between music, sound and interactive storytelling.

​

Collaboration lies at the heart of my creative process, and I've had the pleasure of working with talented artists and producers from around the world. One notable collaboration was with the esteemed rapper Logic on Hitrecord's music video "Do What You Love," which showcased the power of global connectivity in fostering creative partnerships.

Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to receive recognition for my work, including awards such as the Emmy for Hitrecord's Create Together series in 2020.

I suppose the fact that I have made it so far is something of a miracle, given my battle with Leukodystrophy, a neurological disorder which (in my case) affects the use of my legs and hands - not an ideal situation for a musician, but I don't get distracted by little things like that. I believe that persistence is the main component of success, both in music, and in life - and I hope that my example will encourage other people to ignore their distractions, and remain persistent in their attempts to achieve their goals.
