DESCRIPTION:
Brian Tyler, who's scored more than 45 films over the last six years (including the "Fast and Furious" franchise, "Constantine," "Panic" and "Eagle Eye," among many others). Brian, who plays guitar, piano, bass, drums and various keyboard instruments and is signed as a songwriter with Sony Music Publishing, received his big break when a film producer approached him about using a song of Brian's for the end credits; Brian begged him for the opportunity to score the entire film and contributed 14 original songs and a full orchestral score... for the princely sum of a single dollar! Brian then demonstrates for Erik some of the things that go into crafting a film score.
