He became famous in the film industry while working with Guy Ritchie on his film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Michael Mann’s Miami Vice, Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass and scoring various films by Danny Boyle. His instrumental tracks “In the House – In a Heartbeat” from 28 Days Later and “Adagio in D Minor” from Sunshine has been featured in a variety of TV shows, commercials, and film trailers.

In 2014, he released an album Anonymous Rejected Filmscore that had been, as the title suggests, composed for a film whose studio head had rejected it. Murphy promised the director that he wouldn’t name the film, but described it as being 6 or 7 years previous, so around 2006–07. The score was allowed to develop in directions unconstrained by the original film’s narrative and the cover art is a photograph of his son, taken by his wife through her sunglasses.
