RESUME DETAILS
  • * South African born Mark Kilian started his music career as a jazz pianist
    working in and around his homeland. He played with the Brubecks, Shirley
    Bassey, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Airto Moreira and also played some
    musical theater. After completing a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Piano
    and a Masters Degree in Composition and Film Scoring in Durban, he headed
    for Los Angeles in 1994 where he attended USC’s graduate program Scoring
    for Motion Pictures and Television. On completion of the program, lecturer
    and well-known film composer Christopher Young hired Mark where he got the
    opportunity to cut his teeth in and around the studios of LA learning about
    the art and business of film scoring.

    Kilian scored his first feature Lovergirl in 1997 and has since had a
    successful and eclectic film scoring career. He is most known for his
    ethnic flavored scores like Eye In The Sky (Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan
    Rickman) Bless Me Ultima, Traitor, the oscar winning Tsotsi, Rendtion and
    Before The Rains. His most recent scores include Revenge Of The Green
    Dragons (executive produced by Martin Scorsese,) John Carpenter’s The Ward,
    Trust Me (Clark Gregg, Felicity Huffman, Sam Rockwell, William H Macy,)
    Repentance (Forest Whitaker,) and Pitch Perfect for which he has a platinum
    album for soundtrack sales.

    His TV work includes HBO’s 41, ABC’s Killer Women and Daybreak. He has also
    written music for many TV commercials including Apple, Toyota, Budweiser,
    American Express and Microsoft. He has 3 albums out under the name The
    Gravy Street which have received airplay in Los Angeles and also 2 albums
    with the electronica duo Ape Quartet. Kilian also did string arrangements
    for Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) on his solo album Music For The Divine and a
    KCRW sponsored remix of an Ozomatli song with Anne Litt as well as music
    for the Getty exhibition The Aztec Pantheon.
