Charlie Clouser is a multi-instrumentalist and composer for film, television, and games who lives in Los Angeles.
The recipient of ten BMI Film & TV Music awards, Charlie has also received ten platinum and gold record awards for his work with nine inch nails, White Zombie, and others.
His scores for all seven films in the "SAW" series combined brutal electronics and homemade bowed metal instruments with tortured orchestral washes and became landmarks in industrial-strength horror. His scores for "Dead Silence", "Death Sentence", "The Stepfather", "Resident Evil:Extinction", "The Collection" and other films expanded upon these ideas and produced dozens of memorable themes, terrifying ambiences, and tension-filled rhythmic climaxes.
With over two hundred hours of television underscore to his credit, Charlie's scores to the CBS series "Numb3rs" and the NBC series "Las Vegas" spanned a wide range of styles, from ticking-clock hostage dramas and high-energy car chases to comedic casino capers and delicate heartbreak.
Formerly the keyboardist in the band nine inch nails, he has remixed and collaborated with artists as varied as David Bowie, Jamiroquai, Killing Joke, Atari Teenage Riot, and Rob Zombie.
