Brad Ira Fiedel (born March 10, 1951 in New York City) is an American movie music composer. A popular and progressive composer in the 1980s, he worked on several successful movies, predominantly in the action and thriller genres, and pioneered the use of electronic instruments and synthesizers - almost disappearing from the mainstream at the end of the 1990s.
He began his career in film in the late 1970s, and wrote extensively for TV movies and minor cinema releases, until director James Cameron hired him to score a sci-fi film called The Terminator in 1984, setting the wheels in motion for a successful career. The film went on to become one of the box office hits of its decade, launched the film career of the Austrian bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, and gave Fiedel his entry in the annals of movie music history — the metallic, pounding main theme has since become the defining work of his career.
Since then Fiedel has scored many popular and successful movies, including Fright Night (1985) and its sequel Fright Night II (1988), The Big Easy (1987), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The Accused (1988), Blue Steel (1990), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Blink (1994) and True Lies (1994), although in recent years, Fiedel has not been in demand as much as he once was.

Your fans love you!! Your Terminator music is some of the best in a soundtrack ever. The main theme has stuck with me and is so memorable ever since I first heard it as a young one. Danny Elfman did alright in Salvation but most of us here agree that you would have made it so much better!

LuxusPL, you are totally right! In a fact, before credits starts in T4 sounds some voices from theme of T2 . But there are only few seconds from the end of it.

He made one of the best and the most characteristic soundtracks ever. Main theme from T2 is haunting me since I watched it for the first time. If he would make music to T4 this movie maybe could be a little better. This way T4 is typical holywood fireworks show off and Elfman's music in T4. It's just running. There isn't any song which could stay in memory. Even main theme is fucked up.

In all my reviews, the most important part of Terminator Salvation to me, was the score - which was horrible. You were missed Mr. Fiedel, honestly.
