From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Frizzell (born 1966) is an American film
and television composer. As a young boy, Frizzell sang soprano in
the National Cathedral Choir, the Paris Opera Company, and the Metropolitan
Opera Company. However, once he hit puberty, his voice changed.
He continued his study of music at the University of Southern
California and the Manhattan School of Music,
but he began to focus more on the jazz guitar than voice. After he
finished college, Frizzell worked with Michael Mainieri, a famous
producer and became exposed to synthesis and helped Mainieri on
many commercials, movies, and records.
Frizzell's career excelled and he worked with many more renowned
composers, directors and producers including Ryuichi
Sakamoto, John Sacret Young, James
Newton Howard, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Joel Silver, Randy Edelman and
Mark Rydell.
However, Frizzell is best known for his work with Mike Judge. He did the
scores for Judge's films Beavis
and Butthead Do America and Office Space as well as the music for
Judge's TV series King of the Hill. His other film
scores include Alien Resurrection, Thirteen Ghosts, Ghost
Ship, Gods and Generals, and
most recently Stay
Alive and The Reaping, and he composed the TV
musical score for VR5.
