Alex Wurman was born of musical parents, his father a composer and his mother a violin teacher. Alex followed this family tradition attending the Chicago Academy of Performing Arts High School and then studying composition at the University of Miami. He then moved to Los Angeles to follow a career composing for the visual media, where he started composing for commercials and television. He met the composer Hans Zimmer and for a time worked in Zimmer's extended team of musicians, which gave him the opportunity to exercise his talents on "A League of their Own", "The Lion King" and "Armageddon" as a supporting composer providing orchestrations and "additional music". With his recent lead work on major film projects he has now effectively and very successfully gone solo. Although he uses a degree of synthesiser technique as with the Zimmer camp, the composer's style has its own distinct voice. A Wurman soundtrack typically excels in playing a subtle melodic role which complements many different film genres. Within that definition, Wurman is easily capable of considerable variety of mood and style which makes his music versatile and always interesting. Alex Wurman's own web-site is at www.AlexWurman.com.
