“The TV and film composer, whose pop credentials include stints in Looper and Hoboken, has created not only a lovely album, but a colourful and affectionate portrait of this truly singular artist’s life. The soundtrack record is as warm, entertaining and enlightening as Gray himself.”
“‘Lanark’ sees Gray muse on his most famous work, and the dense backing somehow captures the claustrophobic nature of its titular location – ‘Unthank’, whose soundtrack excerpt follows and which is accompanied by a Stockhausen-esque barrage of clanks and tones.”
Scott has written and co-written music for many films, adverts and television programs. Early band songs found their way into film and advertising, in particular Mondo 77 by Looper which appeared in Cameron Crow's Vanilla Sky, Palm d'Or nominated The Edukators and American Dad. Scott now works primarily composing to picture. Recent work includes BBC Two documentaries Alasdair Gray, A Life In Progress for Hopscotch Films and BAFTA winning Marty Goes To Hollywood for Urban Croft. The soundtrack to Alasdair Gray, A Life In Progess was released by De-Fence Records in 2015. In 2018 Scott scored the debut feature Make Me Up by aclaimed multimedia artist Rachel Maclean.
