BEAT
Directed by Gary Walkow, Millennium Films
Starring Courtney Love and Kiefer Sutherland
“ A cup of espresso to Ernest Troost for the film’s jaunty woodwind
sounds, giving ‘Beat’ a much needed bounce.”
— Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter
“ ...packed with melody and poignancy. Another demonstration of Ernest
Troost's flexibility and diversity.”
— Andrew Keech, Music for the Movies.com
“ ...another example of Ernest Troost's perceptive handling of filmic subtexts
and his ability to reach beneath the surface of a scene and echo musically the
sensibilities that lie dormant beneath the surface.”
— Randall Larson, Soundtrack Magazine
“ ...Ernest Troost provides a solid musical score that can be easily paired
with those of John Williams, Mark Isham, and Michael Nyman for the sure diversity
of the elements contained herein.”
— David A. Koran, Soundtrack.net |

ONE
MAN’S HERO
Directed by Lance Hool, MGM/Orion
Starring Tom Berenger and Patrick Bergin
“ ...with Ernest Troost’s appropriately stirring score’s strong
assets,...’One Man’s Hero’ has the stuff of a cavalry classic...”
— Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
“ ...the struggles and actions of the battle cues are treated in a more
sensitive and restrained way than most composers would have chosen, which gives
the score a power and majesty that is both moving and highly emotional. This
is a score for those that love epic film music and is a fine example of the art
of producing music for film, rather than noise for effect. Highly recommended.”
— Andrew Keech, Music for the Movies.com
“ Beautiful string elegies—such as ‘Marta’—sometimes
supported by low tin whistles or uilleann pipes, are mixed with more dramatic
music...Ending with the absolutely wonderful ‘Closing,’ it all makes
for a beautiful and exciting listening.”
— Andreas Lindahl, Score Reviews.com |

TREMORS
Directed by Ron Underwood, Universal
Starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward
“ Tech credits are first rate, particularly the sound, creature effects
and Ernest Troost’s John Williams-inspired score—enough to evoke
images of a fin knifing through the desert sand.”
— Daily Variety
“ Special praise...to composer Ernest Troost for the surging musical score.
Troost’s rousing, western-style sounds smartly fit both the film’s
geography and its thematic points of horror and comedy.”
— Duane Byrge, Hollywood Reporter |
