Rob Lewis (born 2 November 1982) is an Emmy nominated English composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. He gained critical acclaim for his compositions for looping cello, which formed the basis of his album “Momentum” released in 2018. In 2019, Lewis was commissioned by Google to compose a 60-minute soundtrack as part of an installation in Los Angeles. Excerpts from this composition formed his second album, “98”, which was released in February 2020. In April 2022, he premiered “Tideway Tunnel To Tide”, a composition created using sounds from the Tideway Tunnelling Construction process, as a live-streamed event. The work was subsequently released as a single in connection with the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. TV and film Lewis has composed soundtracks for numerous television shows and films, including the Netflix series Mysteries of the Faith, for which he received an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Musical Direction and Composition. He also composed the music for Hulu’s Dead Asleep directed by Skye Borgman, Channel 4’s Inside the American Embassy, Genderquake, and the independent feature documentary ‘‘Perception’’ following the work of Egyptian artist El Seed.
