Calvin's music is everything you could wish for in a modern era composer. He's chaotic, percussive, dark and classical. With a bravado that pushes the envelope in all forms of style and genre - he is boundless. Gravity and genre defying - he's become one of the defining voices on the Pusher roster.
Constantly pushing the limits and experimenting with sound - it's in the quiet moments and the space between that you'll really hear his work. He contributed to the campaigns of "Dune: Part 2", "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice", "Only Murders in the Building" and "Killers of the Flower Moon".
We like all sorts of music; things you know and things you may not know. We all listen to different sounds and when it comes to putting ideas to picture, we also all hear things differently.
Ted is an Athens-based Greek composer. With an unwavering dedication to the art of composition, Ted seamlessly blends minimal melodic motifs with both classical and electronic instrumentation.
