A most excellent
composer who's
scored some of the finest music on film and tv. His greatest skill (in my opinon) is his talent to use many different styles perfectly to match the mood of the movie. (Unlike
John Williams, who's a great composer, but his music all sounds similar) Whether it's
spooky for
Edward Scissorhands or
Sleepy Hollow,
compassionate for
Good Will Hunting or
wacky for
Dilbert or
The Simpsons. He's probably best known for doing the music from practically all of
Tim Burton's films. I can listen to his music for hours...
He's also an uncle-in-law to Jenna Elfman.
Complete list of his film and tv work:
Thanks, as always, to the infinate
wisdom of
IMDB.
