Career

James Everingham is a British film and television composer and music producer based in Los Angeles. Everingham’s scores include The Blue Angels[1], Apollo: Missions to the Moon[2], The Real Right Stuff[3] and Robin and the Hoods. Everingham has collaborated with Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers Music on multiple projects including the BBC series Virdee and on music for American YouTuber MrBeast.[4] In 2023, Everingham contributed music to NBC’s Super Bowl LVI show open. The music features an iconic NFL-style drumline and underscore’s actress Halle Berry’s introduction to the sporting event.[5]

On 27 August 2022, as part of the pre-launch publicity, it was revealed that vocals by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora would feature as part of the music written by Everingham, Hans Zimmer and Adam Lukas for Frozen Planet II.[6][7]

In 2023, Everingham composed the music for Encounter Dinosaurs, a free app developed by Apple and Fairview Portals that shipped with Vision Pro.[8]

In 2024, it was announced that Everingham would be co-composing the music for the upcoming BBC series Virdee with Hans Zimmer, featuring Indian music composer Shashwat Sachdev. The six-part series is adapted for the screen by AA Dhand and is produced by Magical Society for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.[9]

Sample libraries

Everingham has also produced a number of virtual instrument sample libraries used for music production. In 2017, Everingham collaborated with Fracture Sounds on a library of his family’s Wilh. Steinberg upright piano, which was titled Woodchester Piano.[10]

During the production of Frozen Planet II, Everingham worked with British music technology company Spitfire Audio on the development of Fractured Strings. Recorded at London’s AIR Studios with an eight-piece string ensemble and two soloists, the library was designed to demonstrate the musical gestures of a chamber ensemble, offering inspiring and surprising intervallic and modal possibilities.[11]

In 2020, while the Royal Albert Hall was closed due to COVID-19, Everingham led a team in the sampling and recording of the Royal Albert Hall Organ. Microphones were placed around the auditorium, including a binaural microphone placed inside the royal box. These recordings were then edited and developed such that composers can play the pre-registered organ as a virtual instrument within a digital audio workstation, using the Native Instruments Kontakt platform. Royal Albert Hall Organ [12] was publicly released on 5 April 2022.[13]
