Dexter Music
Main Title Composer, Rolfe Kent:
-
Born in England into a non musical family, Kent instinctively knew at age 12 that he wanted to be a film composer, although his early musical training was brief and not so formal.
Citing Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia and Morriconne's The good, the bad and the ugly as inspirations, Kent tokk the advice of an early music teacher to avoid rigid course work that would dampen his enthusiasm for music. He followed an entirely different path and, taking a counterpoint to what is often cited as culture mired in cynicism, profited from his early course work in theology to relate it to music.
After enrolling in psychology studies at University of Leeds in Yorkshire, Kent's musical career was casually begun at a dance club when the director of a musical revue offered him a chance to do the music. His jump start was his composition for a stage musical, "Gross".
Rolfe currently lives in Los Angeles, California. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the "Best Original Score" category for Sideways. He also composed the music for the movies Freaky Friday, Reign over me, Election, The Matador, and Thank You for Smoking.
Series Composer, Daniel Licht:
Upon Graduating from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, where he studied composition, jazz , and world music, Daniel Licht moved to New York City and established himself as a musical artist in the Lower East Side creative music scene. He wasted no time in establishing himself as one of New York's hottest and most eclectic advertising composers, scoring for such unlikely clients as Mercedes Benz, Sony, and A.T.&T.. At the prodding of his friend and ex-classmate Christopher Young, he closed up shop and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in scoring films.
Daniel embarked on his own film scoring career commencing with the independent feature "Atrapados", directed by Mathew Patrick. Several low budget features followed, as did the Propaganda Film series "Inside Out" pairing him with such innovative directors as Lizzie Borden, Jeffrey Freidman and Nigel Dick. This first increasingly busy period culminated in the feature film "Children of the Night".
Notably he became the pick of Clive Barker, England's master of the macabre, for the third in the Hellraiser Series "Bloodline". He also composed the music for the movies "The Winner", "Zooman", "Execution of Justice", "Permanent Midnight" and "Cowboy Up".
He has also worked for TV series such as "Oliver Beene", "Kitchen Confidential", "Jake in Progress" and "American Family".
