ABOUT RUPERT PARKES
Rupert Parkes, also known as Photek, is a Los Angeles based British recording artist, composer, and electronic music DJ. Most recently he completed two movie scores for director Martin Campbell (Casino Royal).
The first being action thriller “The Protege” (Millennium) in 2021 starring Maggie Q, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton. The most recent being “Memory” (Black Bear Pictures) which premiers in April 2022 starring Liam Neeson, Monica Bellucci, Guy Pearce
Photek has scored many notable TV shows from “How To Get Away With Murder” (Shondaland) starring Viola Davis, to “Into The Night” (Netflix), which in 2020 premiered in the top 10 most watched shows on Netflix.
Over his career he has contributed music to a long list of film, TV and video game productions as far back as “Blade” in 1998. Photek also scored Fox Television’s “Gang Related “ (Imagine Entertainment) with director Allen Hughes.
Photek began making his mark on electronic music history as a game-changer in the UK dance music explosion of the 90’s. After 3 consecutive Grammy Award nominations, his music has earned further universal respect and acclaim.
As a composer, Photek has fused his London electronic music pedigree with a new wave of film and TV scores that continues to elevate and electrify.
Memory follows Alex Lewis (Liam Neeson), an expert assassin with a reputation for discreet precision. Caught in a moral quagmire, Alex refuses to complete a job that violates his code and must quickly hunt down and kill the people who hired him before they and FBI agent Vincent Serra (Guy Pearce) find him first. Alex is built for revenge but, with a memory that is beginning to falter, he is forced to question his every action, blurring the line between right and wrong.
Notes Parkes: “It’s been a real honor to be working on another project with Martin Campbell.
With the music for ‘Memory,’ there was a great opportunity to cover a few different styles within one score. On one hand I got to apply a very textural electronic palette that was quite dark and abrasive, but there were also moments that called for a more classical thematic approach. I used gated effects to add dynamic tension to the action scenes which I think worked really well in places where I might have previously used fast pulses or percussion. I was able to put a lot of technique into this score and I love how it turned out.”
