[email protected] Multi award-winning composer Ceiri Torjussen’s music was described by the Los Angeles Times as a “sudden bolt of creative lightning.” Welsh-born, but based mainly in Los Angeles, his credits run the gamut of independent films, documentaries, network TV, animation and large budget studio films. He is also an accomplished composer of concert and experimental music. Torjussen recently completed scoring the 4-hour, doc-series Pistorius for Amazon, about the famed Paralympic athlete and convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius. Recent narrative film projects include the dark drama All Creatures Here Below, and the horror film Primal Rage (released theatrically in 2018). The psychological thriller Jack Goes Home (starring Rory Culkin and Lin Shaye) premiered at SXSW 2016 and critically acclaimed horror film The Canal, which features a terrifying, experimental score, premiered at Tribeca in 2014. His extensive documentary work includes such award-winning films as Mr. Calzaghe (BBC/eOne), about boxing legend Joe Calzaghe, and Becoming Bulletproof (Showtime, 2015), about disabled filmmakers making a Western. In 2013 Ceiri scored two award-winning films: Test (winner of Outfest and featured at the 2014 Berlinale), a drama set in the 1980s, features a moody, ambient electronic score; and on the other end of the stylistic spectrum, Big Ass Spider! (premiered at SXSW 2013), is a nod to the classic monster-movie scores of the 1950s and features full orchestra with a hard-rock edge. He composed additional, heart-thumping action music for Hitman: Agent 47, Repo Men, Live Free or Die Hard and Underworld Evolution, and orchestral action-comedy music for Scary Movie II.
