Lucie Treacher

Lucie is an Ivor-nominated composer from the Highlands of Scotland, creating music for animation, film, video games, opera, theatre and beyond. Her unique sense of colour, play, and texture – combined with her extensive appreciation of acoustic instruments from across the globe – produces vibrant and arresting scores.

She recently completed music and sound design for the video game Monument Valley 3, earning nominations for Best Music and Sound Design at DICE, Develop, TIGA, and the Pocket Gamer Awards. Lucie composed the music for the 52-episode children’s series BeddyByes (BBC and Disney+), recently nominated for Best Music at the Kidscreen Awards, as well as for Milkshake’s (Channel 5) new show Stan and Gran. She is currently collaborating with animation studio Karrot on a new project for CBeebies and composing for an upcoming PlayStation title.

Lucie has composed works performed at major UK venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Kings Place, the Saatchi Gallery, the Royal Opera House, Cadogan Hall, and the Southbank Centre. Her music has been performed by Scottish Opera, the Multi-Story Orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, Orchestra for the Earth and English Touring Opera. Her piece Rocks & Stars - performed by a 1,200-strong Haringey children’s choir and orchestra - was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award in 2025. 

Clients include Netflix, Ustwo Games, Nexus Studios, the Environmental Justice Foundation, Loewe, Shygirl, Giphy, Universal Music, and Room to Read. Her work also explores sound design and audio implementation in video game engines, with a strong focus on music production.

Lucie is passionate about socially impactful storytelling. She scored She Creates Change, an animated mini-series about pioneering young women worldwide, produced by Nexus Studios and the charity Room to Read, which premiered on the Discovery Channel. She also enjoys co-creating music with communities—most recently in a sound work for an installation at Duncansby Lighthouse, John o’ Groats, incorporating voices and sounds from a rural community in the North of Scotland.

As a teenager, Lucie studied at the Purcell School of Music, where she developed her compositional and performance skills. She holds an MA in Scoring for Film and Video Games from Berklee College of Music and a BA in Ethnomusicology from SOAS. Rich instrumental textures are woven through her compositions: she plays an array of instruments, from the Swedish nyckelharpa to Balinese gamelan and musical saw. She has performed with ensembles such as Penguin Cafe and Lydian Collective, appearing at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Green Man Festival, and most recently the Arctic festival Snow Station Vadsø. Lucie particularly loves working with instrumentalists to bring emotion and realism to her scores, drawing on her own collection of unique instruments and sound toys, which she samples in her garden studio, affectionately named “Shabby Road.” She also uses her voice extensively, performing solo vocal and instrumental parts for projects including the film Relay (starring Riz Ahmed and Lily James) and video games Alto's Odyssey and Warhammer III. She contributed additional music to the Netflix film Outlaw King (starring Chris Pine and Florence Pugh), for which she also performed nyckelharpa and vocals.
