Biography:Composer Graeme Revell's organic scores can linger in viewers' minds for days, and his music has complemented everything from low-key dramas (Killer: A Journal of Murder) to large-scale Hollywood action excess (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider). A native of New Zealand who graduated from the University of Auckland with degrees in economics and politics, Revell trained as a classical pianist and mastered the French horn in his early years. His sharp ear for natural sound served the musician well when he took a job as an orderly in an Australian mental hospital. After recognizing the curious rhythms of various patients' vocal patterns, Revell began incorporating recordings of their ramblings into his music, and his musical experimentation soon led him to join experimental/industrial rockers SPK. In the following years, the band followed in the footsteps of such famed acts as Throbbing Gristle and Suicide.
