Backstory:
Brandon Moore received a degree in Music Composition (TCU 1999) as well as a certificate in Scoring for Film from the University of Southern California (2000). He often claims that it was listening to record albums of film scores that compelled him into composing in general and wanting to study music further. Among some of his favorite film composers are John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Bruce Broughton, and David Shire.
Since moving to Los Angeles, he has scored a number of independent films, shorts, documentaries, industrials and music for online projects. Some of his recent credits are RETURN TO VIETNAM, a documentary about U.S. Marine veterans returning to that country to help build rural health clinics and festival winner feature film RAY BRADBURY'S CHRYSALIS based on the short story by celebrated Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer Ray Bradbury.
