Marc Canham is a British composer of music for film and video games. In 2008, he scored Far Cry 2, and in 2020, he composed the film score to I Care A Lot, [1][2][3][4] for which he received an ASCAP award.[5][6] Canham has collaborated with several artists including Iggy Pop, Nathan Johnson, Philip Glass, Baaba Maal, Bryan Mantia, and Paul Hartnoll.[7]

On creating music, Canham stated that he wanted to deliver emotion through a "sound palette" of combinations of sounds, textures, and ensembles of instruments, then letting loose with melodies and motifs.[8] For I Care A Lot, Canham claims to have created the score from the script, as opposed to the film.[5]
