"Land of Bad" | "Thanksgiving" | Composer: Brandon Roberts.

Composer Brandon Roberts joins me to talk about his work, (Thanksgiving, Land of Bad) Thomas Newman, composing music, John Williams, Awards and so much more.

Emmy Award winning composer Brandon Roberts’ music can be heard all over the scoring world today. From the Academy Award winning documentary Free Solo, to the pulsing action of World War Z and Logan, to the surreal reimagining of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone and the horror of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving.

Upon graduating from the USC Scoring for Motion Pictures & Television program, Brandon began composing for films, television and albums in a wide range of styles. Projects include such large-scale feature films as A Quiet Place (I and II), Logan, Chaos Walking, and World War Z. In addition, he has composed for several independent features including: The Woman In Black (I and II), Warm Bodies, The Giver, and Unbroken: Path To Redemption.

Brandon’s music can be found in acclaimed television shows as well, including Battlestar Galactica, V, AMC’s Revolutionary War spy drama, TURN: Washington’s Spies, and Freeform’s Motherland: Fort Salem. Brandon’s recent co-scores with frequent collaborator Marco Beltrami include Jordan Peele’s CBS All Access reboot of The Twilight Zone, the Fox horror feature Underwater starring Kristen Stewart, and the Focus Features political documentary The Way I See It which earned a People’s Choice Award for best documentary score. The popular summer Netflix horror trilogy, Fear Street, featured a co-score with Beltrami (Fear Street: Part 2) as well as additional music in Pt1 and Pt3. Brandon’s other recent scores include additional music on the Paramount feature Tom Clancy’s: Without Remorse, starring Michael B. Jordan and New Line Cinema’s, The Nun II.

Brandon resides in Tarzana, CA and is a dual-citizen of United States and Canada.
