My Favorite Composers

I came to know Richter because of The Leftovers. Then, a year after the first season (while Season 2 was running) I started listening to a lot of his works, enjoying them very much and I became a big fan of his. I started listening to him a LOT. Now, Richter is mostly a composer in general, not mainly for film. I love his work. His 8.5 hour long project 'SLEEP', is one of my favourite composed works ever, something there really sticked to me. Listen to the whole thing, worth it. I find Richter's music comforting and beautiful, very thought provoking too. Oftentimes it affects me on an emotional level, I get the chills. No one else has that effect on me that often.

I remember hearing about this unique and special soundtrack that The Social Network has, but not giving it the needed attention. Only when I watched Gone Girl in the cinema, I noticed the music of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Then I went to listen to their other work -> Instant fan of their soundtracks, and their style of music (electronic, drone, ambient -all together)

Same story as Trent Reznor, because they compose together - a very powerful duo.

Now, Atticus has a few more soundtracks, mostly with his brother Leopold and Claudia Sarne.

The first to ever pick my interest in soundtracks. After watching The Dark Knight for the 1st time - that's it (all praise the Nolans). Then, after light research I found out about the great contribution that this man had and has to film music and music in general. Master.

If you watched some Soderbergh movies, Soderbergh's The Knick, Some of the recent Nicolas Winding Refns, Spring Breakers... You probably know his unique electronic style. There's only one Cliff Martinez. I really love his soundtracks and his style of music.

Mac was a Cliff Martinez protege. I noticed that when first watching the first episode of Mr. Robot. Of course, it was only a general-style thing, Mac has his own unique style. In his Mr. Robot soundtrack (which a. I consider one of the best soundtracks ever, and b. JUST WON AN EMMY TODAY!) he has his own style, mixed with influences from Cliff Martinez, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross... He also composed more shows like The People V. OJ Simpson. He's brilliant.

Although I just discovered him this year (2016), there is no deny that Clint Mansell is one talented composer. His music is very unique, and for each project he scores you can hear different styles and genres. As I dive and listen to more of his projects I discover more and more great music that he created.

I have to include Ramin Djawadi. The man is now one of the busiest TV (and film) composers in the biz. I first came to know him back when I started watching TV shows, on Prison Break (one of the first shows I followed). Now he's doing so much. With credits like Nolan's Person of Interest (which's already over), Game of Thrones and the score he's made for Jonathan Nolan's WESTWORLD is so beautiful.

Trivia: He's done 'additional music' on various Hans Zimmer scores, including Batman Begins (!!!), he learned under Zimmer's wing and evolved greatly from there.
