Rael Jones
Rael Jones is an Emmy and Ivor Novello nominated composer and multi-instrumentalist. His writing often stems from improvisation and live performance, and he is a highly accomplished player of many instruments, from piano, guitars and drums, to more esoteric items like nyckelharpa, hurdy gurdy and hand pans.
Rael’s most recent work has included scoring BBC’s flagship series This City is Ours, Amazon’s My Lady Jane, period drama Mrs Harris Goes To Paris, Ten Percent for Bron Studios and the BBC factual dramas The Sixth Commandment and The Salisbury Poisonings.
He created the soundtrack for Fox Searchlight romantic thriller My Cousin Rachel, starring Rachel Weisz and Sam Claflin, directed by Roger Michell, earning him a Discovery of The Year nomination at the World Soundtrack Awards. Rael’s score for Suite Française (Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott Thomas, Matthias Schoenaerts) was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2017. The film is based on the Irène Némirovsky novels about the German occupation in France.
Rael also wrote the music for Hulu & ITV’s series Harlots, set in the 18th Century brothels of London. The show is written, directed and produced entirely by women. The boldly anachronistic soundtrack mixes heavy electronica and rock genres, reflecting the present-tense experiences and rebellious nature of the women depicted in the programme.
His other scores include Supersonic, the Oasis documentary from the producers of the Oscar winning “Amy”, The TV adaptation of Zadie Smith’s NW directed by Saul Dibb; the black comedy Ill Behaviour from writer Sam Bain, the coming-of-age drama Kids In Love, starring Cara Delevingne and Will Poulter, and the feature documentary Still The Enemy Within about the British Mining strikes of the 1980s.
Rael has also contributed additional music for the four series of the BBC’s hit drama Sherlock, working with composers David Arnold and Michael Price. He was nominated for Emmys for his work on the series in both 2016 and 2017. Other Additional Composition credits include Everest, Horrid Henry: The Movie and Island.
