Composer Graeme Revell:
Composer Graeme Revell is too well known to detail at length here.
He has a relatively detailed wiki here, and his management, here provided
this short CV for his career:
Since his first appearance on the film scene with the chilling score to Dead
Calm, Graeme Revell has gone on to score films for such high-profile
directors as John Woo, Wim Wenders, Robert Rodriguez, Ted Demme, and
Michael Mann. He has scored such films as The Experiment, Unthinkable,
Days of Wrath, andPineapple Express. He also composed the music for the
political documentary Darfur Now. Revell’s work can be heard in the popular
film adaptation of the graphic novel series, Sin City, as well as in Blow,
Grindhouse, The Chronicles of Riddick, Daredevil, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,
The Insider, The Siege, The Negotiator, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Crow,
and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle. Proving that his sound can
successfully cross both genres and platforms, Revell scored the first season
of the television series CSI: Miami. Most recently Revell completed his first
film trilogy with the box office hit Riddick directed by David Twohy and
starring Vin Diesel. Graeme’s most recent work can be heard in the the
Australian TV series Old School and the critically acclaimed Fox TV series
Gotham.
A native of New Zealand, Revell received classical training in piano and
French horn, but it was in an Australian mental hospital where his career as
a composer began. He incorporated recordings of the sounds and rhythms
of patients at the hospital (where he worked as an orderly) into the songs of
his band SPK, whose music in turn landed him his first film scoring gig on
Dead Calm. Since then he’s written scores for over 100 projects, earning an
ASCAP award and 7 BMI Film Music Awards. He was also honored by BMI
with the Richard Kirk Award for Outstanding Career Achievement.

The score for Dead Calm has apparently never been officially released, but
Revell had much work to do generating atmosphere and tension for this onwater thriller and accordingly devoted followers have prepared a track listing
of his score:
