Messier views the Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composerssongs through the lens of luminaries from diverse sides of the musicbusiness, including Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Squarepusher, andGhostemane. Elfman once again has achieved a kind of artistic liberation on the recordthat had been eluding him for decades, and connecting him to brand newaudience. Born and raised in southern California, Elfman began his career aspart of a surrealist, avant-garde musical theater troupe known as The MysticKnights of Oingo Boingo. The group would eventually morph into the criticallyacclaimed rock band Oingo Boingo, whose high-energy performances andgenre-bending sound garnered them a fanatically devoted cult following inthe 1980s and '90s. Among the group's early fans was fledgling director TimBurton and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-wee Herman), who enlisted Elfman toscore their first feature film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The collaborationwould prove to be the start of a long and fruitful partnership for Elfman andBurton, with Elfman going on to score a string of iconic Burton features likeBatman, Beetlejuice, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and The NightmareBefore Christmas. To date, Elfman has scored more than 100 films.
