Graeme Revell

Graeme Revell，1955年出生于新西蘭。盡管他曾經(jīng)系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)古典鋼琴以及圓號(hào)，Revell的第一份工作卻是在澳大利亞的一所精神病院。不過(guò)在這段時(shí)間他和幾個(gè)有音樂(lè)修養(yǎng)的病人組成了一支工業(yè)搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)“SPK”。這為他日后混合工業(yè)搖滾和電子音樂(lè)的獨(dú)特風(fēng)格打下了基礎(chǔ)。1989年Revell樂(lè)隊(duì)為電影《Dead Calm》創(chuàng)作的一首單曲"In Flagrante Delicot"得到了當(dāng)年的澳大利亞電影學(xué)院最佳電影配樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)。從此Graeme Revell踏入了電影配樂(lè)的領(lǐng)域。Revell的作品以動(dòng)作片為主，善于刻畫(huà)陰暗的風(fēng)格。代表作品有：
Hard Target 1993
Crow, The 1994
Crow: City Of Angels, The 1996
Spawn 1997
Chinese Box 1997
Bride Of Chucky 1998

盡管Graeme Revell在1997年憑借《Chinese Box》奪得了威尼斯電影節(jié)金棕櫚獎(jiǎng)，他至今從未獲得過(guò)真正的喝彩和榮譽(yù)，不過(guò)以他眾多作品的高認(rèn)可度，相信這一天不會(huì)太遠(yuǎn)。
Coming into the public eye with his brooding score for the 1989 Australian film Dead Calm, composer Graeme Revell has gone on to score films for directors such as John Woo, Wim Wenders, Robert Rodriguez, Ted Demme, and Michael Mann. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1955, Revell graduated from the University of Auckland with degrees in economics and politics. His skills as a classically trained pianist assisted him as a member of the experimental industrial rock group SPK. Cinematic theatrics were an essential part of SPK's live show (foreshadowing Revell's future career in film) with early performances featuring slides and films of surgery, and the use of flame throwers and oil drums. The band dissolved in the late '80s, coinciding with Revell's exploration into film scores. His Dead Calm score won him an Australian Film Industry award, prompting his move to London to work as an independent musician. Revell has had quite a prolific career composing music for films like Street Fighter and The Craft, as well as producing soundtracks for Until the End of the World, The Crow, The Basketball Diaries, Strange Days, and From Dusk Till Dawn.
