ABOUT
Harold Squire’s musical sensibility is well regarded by others in the industry and is one of his greatest assets. His stylistic range is wide open and is keen on going any direction needed. He has proved to be very flexible and efficient with regards to the postproduction workflow that often comprises extremely tight deadlines.
2022 unveils Harold Squire’s brand new website and official activity as a professional composer for film and media.
FROM MUSIC TO FILM
Since 2005 he has been scoring movies within the theaters/TV/trailer/corporate & commercial movies industry. In 2006 and 2007, he traveled to the U.S. and had the opportunity to visit orchestra recording sessions and meet A-list top composer Christopher Young (Spider Man 3, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Core, Intraçable, The Glass House) he attended masterclasses with. Mr Young spent some time coaching Harold Squire and encouraged him in pursuing his career in the movie industry.
As a Swiss resident, Harold Squire now keeps on producing music for films within Europe and with the U.S on a remote basis. In Switzerland, he happens to collaborate with directors to score documentary movies that are also broadcast on the Swiss national television (RTS).

« Ein echter Komponist … und: ein echter Freund » (Olivier Zwicky, actor’s director)
« Thank you for a very efficient and attentive work » (Orane Burri, director)
« We think Mr Squire will go any length to musically fulfilling directors’ wildest dreams » (LazRael Lison, director)
“What I really liked about working with Harold Squire for two of my feature comedies is the way he understands the nuances of the beats and timing of the scene, accentuating the comedic moments without being too obvious or over-the-top. There is always a playful interplay of what’s happening on screen with the music, bringing a nice additional layer to everything. In my experience, it’s something that few composers who score comedy can do well » (Michelle Ehlen, director)
« I know I can always rely on Mr Squire to help me produce music that is truly unique. That, coupled with his constant professionalism, will help to make Mr Squire an astoundingly successful musician » (Vincent Gillioz, L.A based composer)
