Epic wave studio founder Christopher Lord pursues a modern, hybrid orchestral style that strives to marry narrative theme with musical tone. Trained in jazz piano, he segued to composition while attending the Berklee College of Music. The synth and percussion composing he did on Transformers 2 (VG) and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (VG). Following that he composed music for ABC’s Detroit 1-8-7. Soon you’ll be able to hear his “rhythmic and tonal landscapes” in the upcoming films Cold Light of Day (starring Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill) and The Raven (starring John Cusack).
JJ’s love of music was apparent at a young age and her curiosity and ingenuity would propel her far beyond the harmonic borders of contemporary music. Her background in classical and jazz composition account for the lush, sophisticated orchestral scores with hints of jazz harmony that are hallmarks of her work. She has amassed an impressive list of credits. Among her credits are Detroit 1-8-7 (ABC), Cheating Death (CNN), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (VG), Gears of War 2 (VG) Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (VG) The and Last Heart Attack (CNN).
