Biografia

Graeme Revell (born in Auckland, New Zealand on October 23, 1955) is a composer of film music.

Revell is a classically trained pianist and French horn player, but also graduated from the University of Auckland with degrees in economics and political science. He worked as a regional planner in Australia and Indonesia and as an orderly in an Australian psychiatric hospital. Later, he was a founding member of the industrial music band SPK, playing keyboards and percussion. The SPK single "In Flagrante Delicto" was the basis for his first film score, for Dead Calm, which won him an Australian Film Industry award.

His musical style is very much electronic and computer-based in nature, yet often utilizes classical instruments or entire arrangements for certain pieces, much like his contemporary counterpart Hans Zimmer. His music is often re-used from movie to movie (parts from his score for The Crow were reused for Kingdom of Heaven [1]) and in more recent times he has collaborated with other artists on their albums. After the success of his soundtrack on Red Planet where he used the voice of French singer Emma Shapplin to back up and often lead his score, he collaborated with her on her own album Etterna, producing all of her songs. He has recently been interviewed for the independent documentary Finding Kraftland.

He has been assisted in sound design by dark ambient composer Lustmord.[2] Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
