Tyler Strickland is an American film and television composer. He is best known for providing the scores for documentaries such as Hot Girls Wanted, Fresh Dressed, Audrie & Daisy and The Mars Generation. He won the 2022 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for Cat People.[1]
Career
[edit]Early in his career as a musician, Strickland toured as a multi-instrumentalist for an artist signed to Capitol Records.[2] Strickland posits that sound is "50 percent of everything we experience on a day to day basis… Without the right music, no environment is complete". All pacing in regards to score must stem from the on-screen image. He describes this as only way to assure a score is enhancing the film, as opposed to distracting viewers from it.[3] One of the most important elements in Strickland's workflow is communication with a director—he describes this as potentially one of the most "inspiring and exciting" parts of the scoring process.[4]
