While he’s worked on many different projects over the years, there’s a common thread of cinematic poise linking Malcolm Pardon’s work. His most prominent work has been as one half of Roll The Dice alongside Peder Mannerfelt. Their widescreen electronica combines orchestral sensibilities with a roughly textured, experimental edge, collaborating with artists such as Pole, Alessandro Cortini and Glasser, and finding a home on Digitalis, The Leaf Label and their own label A New Black.
With a mixture of Scottish and Swedish heritage, Pardon’s earliest dalliances into music were in London in the early ‘90s. He eventually moved back to Stockholm and immersed himself in songwriting and production. As well as albums and tours with Roll The Dice, he established himself within the realm of soundtrack composition for TV and film, co-scoring projects such as Chernobyl director Johan Renck’s The Last Panthers series, and additional music for Hollywood projects Edge Of Tomorrow and Anon, to name but a few.
Pardon has also embarked on his own solo music projects with the release of Hello Death and The Abyss- personal explorations of our relationship with mortality as expressed through plaintive, minimal piano pieces and atmospheric production (assisted by Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik as Aasthma).
