Music for the story
you're trying to tell.
I'm David Dimech — a Malta-based composer and orchestral arranger. I write emotionally-driven, texture-forward music and arrange for live orchestra, most recently for Malta's Mużika Mużika festival.
In the tradition of Jóhannsson · Guðnadóttir · Arnalds · Britell

Dagger — original score
A psychological thriller adapting Shakespeare's Macbeth. The score follows Macbeth's descent — restrained strings and low, breathing texture that tighten into dread. Directed by Francis Ghersci.
Real projects, real briefs
Original score for a Macbeth-inspired psychological short — restrained strings and texture that tighten as the story unravels.
Orchestral arrangements for Malta's national song festival (Festivals Malta) — incl. "Indur Għalik" and "Diska Cool Għar-Radio".
Live and festival arrangements, taking band material to a full orchestral stage.
Live and festival arrangements, keeping the band's character while giving it scale.
Produced two tracks with the emerging Maltese artist, from the ground up.
Simple, honest, and easy on your schedule
We talk first
A relaxed call about the story, the feeling, and a few references. No commitment, no jargon.
A sketch to picture
I write a short cue against your footage early, so we're hearing the direction before anyone's locked in.
We shape it together
Notes are welcome and expected. I'd rather revise happily than guess.
Clean delivery
Proper stems, correct specs, on time. I build tools for film work by day — the technical side won't slow you down.
The sound
Orchestral warmth meeting modern electronic texture. Below: original cues from the work above, plus a set of scoring studies — pieces re-scored to existing scenes, purely as practice, to show range.
Scoring studies — re-scored to existing picture, not commissioned work:
- Agent 327
- Bridgerton
- Stargirl
- Love Is a Gift
- Dream Logic
If you love the restraint of Jóhann Jóhannsson, the cello world of Hildur Guðnadóttir, the warmth of Ólafur Arnalds, or the character of Nicholas Britell — we'll get on well. That's the tradition I write into.
A composer with a technologist's ear
I studied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malta, and today I split my time between composing and building software for artists at Stargate Studios Malta — tools that help post teams deliver high-quality work efficiently.
That dual background means I don't just write the music. I understand stems, delivery specs, and the modern post pipeline — so the technical side of a score stays out of your way.
