Tyler Bates is a music producer and composer for films.
His most recent work is for the 2009 film, Watchmen, but he is perhaps best known for his work on Frank Miller’s “300.”
He is also responsible for music from the zombie horror film Dawn of the Dead. Other projects include The Devil’s Rejects, See No Evil, Halloween and Slither as well as Watchmen, based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Alan Moore.
During his formative years the limitations of his home studio equipment became an integral part of his creative process; sparking an experimental approach in effort to complete his compositional ideas. At age thirteen he started daisy-chaining cassette recorders to produce multi-track recordings. An Echoplex and other sound mutation devices became the gateway to his atmospheric explorations and counter-rhythmic sensibilities, as he studied the effects of varying tape speeds on live and pre-recorded sound sources.
By nineteen, Tyler managed a trading firm in the stock market, while enjoying the beginnings of great success in Chicago-based bands. But he could not ignore the calling to expand his career in music. In 1993, fueled by an offer to score a movie that paid less than a months rent, Tyler returned to his native Los Angeles with zero experience in making music for films, and successfully produced his first score.

Returns a King and Remember Us are tracks that have been stolen from the Titus OST by Elliot Goldenthal. This is not an allegation, this is fact. Elliot Goldenthal threatened to sue Warner Music Group, but they apologized to him publicly. I love his work, but after knowing coming to know stuff like this.... It demeaned him in my eyes...
