Mark Ford

I was a music major and later film/TV major in college and am currently an unemployed network engineer/sys admin. I'm married with one child, a son aged 20.

My first love of film music came from Herrmann's fantasy film scores back in the early 60s. After SW & CE3K came out many years later I became a huge JW fan buying everything I could get my hands on. After ST:TMP & Alien Goldsmith became my main man and I have been a JG completist ever since. Other film composers I like are: North, Giacchino, Goldenthal, Howard, Broughton, Young, Mancini, Joel Goldsmith, Baxter, McCreary, early to mid Horner & Elfman. Classical: Beethoven, Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler, R. Strauss, Prokofiev, Bartók. Jazz: Ellington, Kenton, Brubeck, Rugolo, Strayhorn
