Nathan Barr - The House With a Clock in Its Walls (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2018

Tracks list

Best known for his menacing chamber music in the horror, thriller, and mystery
genres, Nathan Barr is an Emmy-nominated television and film composer based in
Los Angeles. A frequent collaborator of director Eli Roth (2005s Hostel, 2018s
The House with a Clock in Its Walls), he also wrote the scores for TV shows such
as True Blood (2008-2014) and The Americans (2013-2018).

A musician since the age of four, Barr went on to study music and technology at
Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. He had a stint as guitarist and
electric cellist with alternative metal group VAST before moving to Los Angeles
to work in film and television in 1996. Barr found work as an assistant to Hans
Zimmer on films including 1997s As Good as It Gets and the following years The
Prince of Egypt, earning his first main composer credit on the comedy Romance in
1998. He continued to write music for low-budget films while providing
additional music, production, and cello performances to a variety of TV,
straight-to-video, and documentary projects into the early 2000s. Some of his
earliest work on television during that period included the reality show Fear
and the short-lived CBS drama Kate Brasher.

Though Barr wrote the score for the 2005 film adaptation of The Dukes of
Hazzard, by that time he was developing a reputation for his quirky, ominous
music in horror films such as 2002s Cabin Fever (with some themes composed by
Angelo Badalamenti), 2005s Hostel, and a segment of the 2007 horror anthology
Grindhouse, all of which were directed by Eli Roth. In 2008, Barr was enlisted
as composer for the HBO series True Blood, a position he held for the shows
entire seven-season run. In the meantime, he wrote scores for TV programs
including the Netflix horror series Hemlock Grove (2013-2015) and the FX-network
spy drama The Americans (2013-2018). His main-title music for both of the latter
shows were nominated for Emmys in 2013. For the 2015 thriller The Boy Next Door,
he collaborated with composer Randy Edelman, and in 2017 he scored the remake of
the 1990 psychological thriller Flatliners. He reunited with Roth for 2018s The
House with a Clock in Its Walls, based on a book by gothic-mystery novelist John
Bellairs.
