Marvin Ayres is a composer/cellist and producer. Ayres has recorded a diverse selection of ambient and 'string design' albums, and produced a number of sensual jazz and film soundtracks that combine classical technique with free-form extemporization.

He has composed soundtracks for Channel 4 programmes including ‘The Bin Man' directed by Peter Lydon (Hungry Man), with whom he also recently collaborated on a short commercial for the Manhattan Film Festival.
He also scored the soundtrack for one of the first inter active feature films on DVD (Seven Swords) starring Brian Blessed.

In 2006 his music was featured throughout the US TV series ‘Life Among The Dead' and he composed the sound design for Tentacle Films' ‘Fish Eye' (with Stewart Copeland/The Police) – which was screened at the Sundance Festival .(FILMS)

As well as producing adverts, he scores, arranges and plays strings as a session player.

Ayres also collaborates with visual artists on audio/visual installations, which have been exhibited in major galleries and art houses in Europe and the U.S.

In 1999 he was signed to the avant-garde label Mille Plateaux as composer/producer, and released two ambient albums, Cellosphere and Neptune to critical acclaim. (REVIEWS)
