Dominic Glynn is a familiar name to Doctor Who (1963) fans, being one of the
few people to have arranged the theme tune to the classic TV series.
His career began in 1986 when John Nathan-Turner employed him to rework the title music that
accompanied Colin Baker's second and final season as the Doctor, "The Trial of a Time Lord". Although this was soon superseded by Keff McCulloch's version for the Sylvester McCoy era, Glynn composed incidental music for
the series regularly until it was cancelled in 1989 by Peter Cregeen.
The 1990s saw his love of underground dance music result in record releases with Creation Records - famous for leading the Brit Indie scene with bands like Oasis and Primal Scream, and also Rising High Records - a label that was firmly at the forefront of UK techno. He went on to form his own No Bones Records, and throughout the last ten years has DJ'd regularly for The Big Chill. In the early 2000s Dominic scored music for the video games Forsaken and ReVolt.
Live work has included a performance at London's Royal Festival Hall with pedal-steel legend BJ Cole, and the electronica/jazz hybrid project "Cybajaz." His collaborations with video artist collective D-Fuse have resulted in performances in the UK, Germany and Switzerland, together with regular screenings as part of the One Dot Zero digital arts showcases.
Today, as one of Britain's most prolific composers of production music, his work continues to feature in films and TV productions worldwide, as diverse as The Simpsons (1989), American Idol (2002), Red Dwarf (1988) and Dead Like Me (2003) and in movies such as Kevin & Perry Go Large (2000) and Holy Man (1998).
Recent work has included the score to the Brit-crime-thriller Bad Day (2008). He scored a series of supernatural horror shorts starring the likes of Victor Spinetti, Anna Wing, and Clement Freud, and produced by horror legend David McGillivray - all screened at London's Frightfest film festival.
In 2012 his soundtrack music to the radio revival of the famous Blake's 7 (1978) sci-fi series has been broadcast on BBC 4 Extra. Most recently Dominic has had music in BBC2's Episodes (2011) and wrote the theme to C4's Supersize vs Superskinny Kids (2011).
