Alex Arnold is a composer, orchestrator, acoustic and electric bassist, and sound designer living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Recently graduated from Dalhousie with a Major in Composition, Arnold has written several works, many of which incorporate the use of electronics and electronic instruments with live performers. In 2013, he was commissioned by West Kings to write a piece for their drum line which blended elements of dubstep with traditional drum line repertoire. At this time, he was also approached by the Dalhousie Theatre Department to compose an original score for their production of "The Decameron". This score mixed electronic and acoustic elements as well as renaissance and medieval melodic content to create a sound that borrowed from the past but lived in the present. In the fall of 2014, Arnold crafted a score for the student made video game "Bella and the Grimoire". The game centered on a young girl in a Library who gains the ability to enter into the books and live in the magical worlds they create. The score emphasized both her childish wonderment and the vast scope of possibilities the worlds of the books provided. In the spring of 2015, Arnold again worked closely with Dalhousie's Margot Dionne to create a soundtrack for her original play “Raven’s in the Rain”, which highlights a night with Irish revolutionary Maude Gonne in Prison. In the fall of the same year Arnold created a score for the Dalhousie production of 'She Herself is a Haunted House' with close friend and colleague, Craig Lang. Alex is currently seeking work as a freelance composer for visual media, including video games, film and television.
