Marco Beltrami studied at Brown University before entering the Yale School of Music on a scholarship. He then studied for a time in Venice under the Italian master Luigi Nono and also via a fellowship with Jerry Goldsmith. He is one of the younger generation of composers who has been quite prolific in recent years on many summer blockbusters, and has found himself scoring frequently in the modern horror or thriller genres. His breakthrough was probably the music for "Scream" where he sought inspiration from another Italian composer Ennio Morricone. As well as the original Scream and its two sequels, Beltrami has also scored for the horror films Mimic, The Faculty and Scary Movie 2. Having served an apprenticeship on these and a number of high profile sequels of action, sci-fi and effects films (Terminator 3 and Blade 2), Beltrami then secured the rewarding task of scoring eagerly awaited film adaptations inspired by the book "I Robot" and by the comic strip "Hellboy". Beltrami has now proven his versatility on the more subtle score for Tommy Lee Jones directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
The original "The Scream" soundtrack can be found at: Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, and "Hellboy" is available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
