David Lindup was a prolific British composer, arranger, and orchestra leader, with a career that spanned several decades, mostly from the 1950s through the 1980s. Born on May 10, 1928, in East Preston, Sussex, England, Lindup established himself as a versatile talent within the music industry. He was particularly known for his contributions to library music, which are compositions meant for use in film, television, and radio. These works are specifically designed to fit a wide range of moods and scenarios, allowing producers to easily incorporate them into their media projects.

Lindup's expertise is well-reflected in his numerous releases through the KPM Music library, one of the flagship names in production music. His releases through the KPM 1000 Series showcase a diversity of styles and genres, with albums such as "The Nature of Woodwind," "Outdoor Life," "Dramatic Action," and "Impact and Action" demonstrating his ability to craft soundscapes that evoke a specific atmosphere. His attention to the tonal qualities of different instruments is evident in his focused works like "Woodwind" and "The Rhythm of Modern Life / Vaudeville." Even as the music industry evolved, Lindup's compositions remained relevant for their timeless quality and emotive power. His background in classical music, jazz, and popular music allowed him to cross boundaries within his compositions, influencing generations of music producers and listeners who may never know his name but have undoubtedly heard his work.
