About Brian

Brian Alan DeLaney is an American composer living in Houston, Texas. Specializing in Modern Classical music, he brings his knowledge of contemporary theory and techniques to pieces written for both the concert hall and film.

From an early age he has been obsessed with movies, horror in particular. He would stay up late with his mother watching classics like Nightmare on Elm Street, Deepstar Six, and Night of the Lepus. The music of Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho and Jerry Goldsmith’s Planet of the Apes became entrenched in his head.

Joining together with a few friends in high school, Brian took his first steps toward a career in music, starting a punk rock band. The band became a catalyst for Brian’s love of music. He started become obsessed with music theory, taking Schoenberg and the like in the back of the tour van.
Eventually Brian attended college with a focus on composition and music theory. It is here where he started to develop his own personal style. Pieces often employ techniques such as synthetic scales, polymeter, irrational and irregular meters, and other colors that cement his work firmly in the modern era.

When writing for film, Brian uses the idea of leitmotiv, producing a theme for significant people, places, or items and having those themes interplay with one another. Each theme would be representative of the characters traits or, in the case of a place or item, the feeling it imparts upon others. These themes are then varied and mutated to provide a suitable backdrop for the development of the characters. Brian firmly believes that the score is another character in film.
