About

Dublin based composer, Michael Fleming brings his diverse musical background to the inimitable scores he crafts. Classically trained but with a background steeped in trad and folk - by way of a stint with post-rock group, The Jimmy Cake - he brings a unique and bespoke element to every project he’s involved in. 

The past number of years has seen Michael work back to back on a dizzying array of projects. In 2021 he won Best Soundtrack/Sound Design at International Webby Awards for his score for the BBC Sounds podcast series, Where Is George Gibney? A blend of orchestra and soundscape, it was praised for its subtlety of tone and delicate execution.  

Notable TV and film work included a gritty, guitar and synth driven soundtrack for the feature drama, Broken Law (Netflix); a dark orchestra, percussion and choir score for the TV miniseries, Dunhuang: Edge of the World (TenCent); and a playful, eclectic score involving a mandolin ensemble, hammer dulcimer, celeste, piano and strings for the IFTA Award winning feature documentary, Mattress Men.

Michael can just as easily turn his hand to commercials work including brand campaigns for Jameson Irish Whiskey, Liberty Insurance, Westfield London, Irish Rail, Kildare Village and 123.ie. In 2021 he composed the score for Ireland’s entry at the World Expo in Dubai.

He also collaborates regularly with Coiscéim Dance Theatre and choreographer, Catherine Young.
