Born in San Diego, California in 1980, Devin Anderson has studied classical piano with Nancy Bussard, composition with Prix de Rome winner Jim Heinke, film music with composer Hummie Mann and attended The Seattle Film Institutes 40 week Total Immersion program.
As a composer, in addition to scoring his own short picture 'Folie à Deux', he has composed music for several independent pictures, including Wisconsin born filmmaker Jack Bennett's short surrealist film 'Synthetik' (which received it's World Premiere at The Beloit International Film Festival in January of 2008, and won it's Director the Emerging Artist Grant) and Tim Boyd's film 'Uniforms' which starred members of the popular group Death Cab for Cutie.
He has also provided music for two promotional films produced by The Northwest Film Forum, the regions first and only non-profit organization for the film arts. He has composed concert works in various genres, including solo instrumental works, vocal works, and chamber ensemble, and recently was commissioned to compose for an Art Exhibition of egg tempura painter Nathan DiPietro.
He has just completed musical duties on a short film, again for director Jack Bennett, entitled 'The Neu Transients'. The picture runs 5 minutes and is a memorial to the City of old now over-run by condos and commercial construction, and uses the Seattle cityscape, the music, and the film's two lead actors (Benjamin Moody and Astrid Benet) to explore ideas of reflection, space, rhythm and transformation. The work premiered at the Northwest Film Forum as part of their City Symphony program on November 19th 2007.
Devin has been awarded the Gold Medal for Excellence at the 2008 Park City Film Music Festival in the category Best Original Music for a Short Film.
He hopes to continue being involved in film and music until his death.

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."~bill hicks
"All hardware items must be admired for their sonic properties; pitchforks, egg beaters, crowbars, fireplace grates, shovels, anvils, rebars (the structural reinforcement rods used in poured concrete), trash cans - the list goes on and on and they're all waiting to be played."~tom waits
