Favourite music composer?

[Randor244]

I'm a little curious about your favourite music composers. Classical, game music, movie soundtracks, anything

I have three.

Inon Zur:
A musical genius - the soundtrack of Crysis is my favourite piece(s) of music ever. He's simply brilliant - I have not heard anything up to date to match his work.

Hans Zimmer:
Well, what can I say? The legendary movie soundtrack composer. I just love his music, especially his recent composition used in Angels and Demons - simply beautiful.

Jeremy Soule:
One more game composer - and a really good one too. His Supreme Commander soundtrack made the game twice as good, he made Oblivion playable, and most of all, his Dungeon Siege II soundtrack made a beautiful game even better.


How about you?

Bruce Faulconer
Made all the music that was in DBZ. Some of them are pure awesome

Go go self endorsement.

I have a lot of respect for artists who experiment and push boundaries. (Without being plain obscene)

John Cage would be a great example of that.

Composer of the original Batman theme, Nightmare before Christmas Soundtrack, Mission Impossible soundtrack, Spider-Man soundtrack, etc.

Frank Klepacki:

they wrote the famous peice of music from "28 Days Later", called "In A Heartbeat", which was extracted from their song "East Hastings". A lot of their music has been used in "artsy" films throughout the world.
