Bucks Music Group has secured a new agreement with Will Gregory of electronic music duo Goldfrapp.
The new deal will focus on Gregory's work across film, TV and other projects outside of Goldfrapp.
Ivor Novello-winning composer, songwriter, producer and artist Gregory's film score credits include 2024’s My Summer Of Love and the 2009 John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy, both of which he wrote music for alongside bandmate Alison Goldfrapp.
The duo have also written music for Carrie Cracknell's National Theatre production of Medea, while Gregory’s first opera Piccard In Space – which follows the real-life Swiss physicist and balloonist Auguste Piccard and his 1931 ascent into the stratosphere – premiered at Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2011.
“I’ve long followed Will Gregory’s career as a fan," said Bucks Music Group head of media Howard Price. "He has made such a rich contribution to British music over the decades, with melodies and an inventiveness that never fails to move listeners.
"His multiple Ivor Novello Awards are testament to how much his work resonates. I’m extremely happy to be working with Will alongside the rest of the Bucks Music Group team.”
With Goldfrapp, Gregory has also been nominated for the Mercury Prize, as well as multiple Grammys and BRITs, and has won ASCAP/PRS, Music Week, MTV Europe and Music Producers Guild awards.
His score work also includes collaborations with Natural History film maker John Downer, such as the BBC Worldwide TV series Serengeti, Spy In The Wild, and Snow Chick: A Penguin's Tale. He has also produced scores for AMC’s Soulmates, Amazon series Chloe, and Hulu’s Extraordinary.
He has been further commissioned by the National Theatre Of Scotland for its James III trilogy; the Royal Shakespeare Company for King John and A Midsummer Night’s Dream; and to produce a piece for orchestra and Moog performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
What really stood out about Bucks was their genuine passion for music and their commitment to supporting writers for the long term

Gregory’s Moog Ensemble, a 10-piece orchestra of Mono Synths, released their debut album Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project on Mute Records in 2024.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of great publishers over the years, but what really stood out about Bucks was their genuine passion for music and their commitment to supporting writers for the long term," said Gregory. "As I continue to develop my work both personally and with the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble across composition, screen projects and new collaborations, it felt important to find a team that truly understands the breadth of what I do.
"Howard Price and everyone at Bucks bring an incredible depth of experience, particularly in the media and sync world, and I’m excited to be working alongside them on this next chapter.”
