Atticus Ross

Atticus Ross (born January 16, 1968) is an English musician, composer and producer. Atticus Ross first came to notice in the mid-1990s as a programmer for Tim Simenon's Bomb the Bass during the period of the albums Unknown Territory and Clear. He worked on a number of production and remix projects with Simenon as well as forming a collaborative relationship with former Bad Seed Barry Adamson. He programmed The Negro Inside Me and Oedipus Schmoedipus, and produced As Above So Below before forming his own band 12 Rounds with Claudia Sarne and Adam Holden. They released two albums, Jitterjuice (Polydor Records) and My Big Hero (Nothing Records). A third full-length album was produced by Trent Reznor for Nothing Records, but ultimately never finished. In 2009, a few songs from it were released for free on the Internet. Since moving to the United States in 2000, Ross has been credited as a producer and/or programmer on four Nine Inch Nails albums: With Teeth, Year Zero, Ghosts I-IV (on which he was also credited as co-writer) and The Slip. He performed live with the band at their farewell show at the Wiltern. Beyond Nine Inch Nails, he has worked with Trent Reznor on other acts, including Saul Williams and Zack de la Rocha, and in 2009 they co-produced tracks for a reformed Jane's Addiction with Alan Moulder. Other work has included two co-productions with Joe Barresi, the Loverman EP Human Nurture and Coheed and Cambria's Year of the Black Rainbow as well as albums for Korn and Union of Knives. He has also produced tracks or done remixes for such artists as Grace Jones, Perry Farrell and Telepathe. In May 2010, Ross appeared in a video, and was named as a member of a somewhat secret project, How to Destroy Angels, a collaboration known to also include Reznor and his wife Mariqueen Maandig. Ross's work in film music began in 2004 when he scored the Hughes Brothers' TV series Touching Evil with his wife and brother, respectively, Claudia Sarne and Leopold Ross. He has since provided music for two further Hughes Brothers projects: Allen Hughes's vignette in the film New York, I Love You, and Ross's first feature, The Book of Eli (2010) starring Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. The score was released through Reprise Records on January 12, 2010, and included a Dave Sitek remix of the main title "Panoramic". It won at the BMI awards and earned Ross a nomination as "Discovery of the Year" at the World Soundtrack Awards 2010. On July 1, 2010, Trent Reznor announced he and Ross were scoring David Fincher's new film The Social Network. The soundtrack was released on September 28, 2010 更多>>
