“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time.” – Jean-Michel Basquiat

 

Jake Morgan is an award-winning time-decorator, a visionary composer who crafts unique and memorable musical worlds for film, television, and stage. His deep expertise in classical, traditional, and ethnic music provides a sonic palette like no other, enabling him to create scores that are as diverse as they are evocative.

​

Jake’s compositions have enriched a range of acclaimed, award-winning projects, including Sky’s animation The Ghastly Ghoul, Morgan Brothers’ Froggie, the Academy Award-qualified short film The Boat, the documentary Cumar - A Galway Rhapsody, and the original stage musical Immortal. His ability to blend orchestral grandeur with contemporary textures results in soundscapes that leave a lasting impact on audiences.

​

In 2018, Jake earned a Master’s degree in Composing for Screen from the University of Edinburgh, further refining his craft under the mentorship of some of the industry’s most legendary professionals, including Cecilia Weston (Moulin Rouge, Love Actually), Rich Dickerson (Scooby-Doo!), Pete Anthony (How to Train Your Dragon 2), Christopher Young (Spider-Man 3), and Heather Fenoughty (StarDog and TurboCat).

​

Beyond his work as a composer, Jake is also a prolific film producer. Alongside his brother Luke, he co-founded Morgan Brothers, a film production company based in the west of Ireland, dedicated to crafting compelling visual stories (www.morganbrothers.ie).

​

Jake’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of musical storytelling cements his reputation as one of Ireland’s most promising and innovative composers. In an era where generative AI scores and pastiche composers are becoming increasingly prevalent, his originality and creative distinctiveness ensure that every project he works on stands out. Creativity is now a commodity in the film composing landscape, and Jake’s music brings a unique voice that elevates cinematic storytelling beyond the ordinary. His passion for transforming time through music continues to shape the soundscapes of modern cinema and beyond.
