By fusing traditional orchestration with ideas gleaned from his collaborations with electronic-influenced acts, this British composer has invigorated both the contemporary pop and film-scoring scenes. His talent for melody and texture has contributed to the overall moods of television shows such as Six Feet Under and films like The Great Gatsby. And Lana Del Rey and Yoko Ono are among his pop collaborators. Armstrong's solo releases reflect the winning idiosyncrasy of an expert genre-switcher.
