Amos Deane – Music Composer, Greater London

Member (3 years 3 months 10 days)
Screened Music Composer (3 years 1 months 2 days)

I was born in London in the UK. I began playing guitar at 9, learning classical guitar and playing in local rock bands. I studied guitar at the Royal Academy of Music for a year before studying composition at City University in London.

Musically I like both traditional classical composing as well as modern production techniques, and I also like styles that blend the two. Where possible I try to use live musicians in my music as well as samples and electronics. Some of my influences include composers like: Mark Isham, Gustavo Santaollala, Michael Nyman, Prokofiev and Ennio Morricone.

I started writing originally for fringe theatre and student films. Since then I have written for corporate and multimedia projects, have contributed to music libraries and also become involved in educational work relating to music composition.

Virtuosic arranging that screams Hollywood circa 1950 with all the glitz and glamour. Very impressive!
