Neal Acree is a film, television and game composer whose music

Atlantis, the opening cinematic for Blizzard Entertainment's
World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, Witchblade, as well as
in numerous independent films.

"...time after time, Acree’s music has been cited as being the standout
element of each project, and it cannot be long before this
exceptionally talented young composer gets his shot at the big time."
- Jonathan Broxton, Movie Music UK



A fan of movies and their music from a very early age,
Neal's first records were soundtracks by John Williams,
Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner and others. Though originally
planning a career in art, his early experiments in instrumental
electronic music began to take over his life. After studying
classical, ethnic and electronic music (including a semester in
England), Neal began to see that film scoring was the
ideal outlet for his love of movies and music.

Early in Neal's career he had the opportunity to work in
cartage, transporting and setting up music equipment
between major Hollywood scoring sessions. This gave him
a unique "fly on the wall" perspective of nearly all of the A-list
Hollywood composers at work including Jerry Goldsmith,
James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, David
Newman, Randy Newman, John Barry, Shirley Walker,
Bill Conti, John Debney and James Newton Howard.

This proved to be an invaluable learning experience,
as well as an opportunity to meet and eventually apprentice
with such distinguished composers as Marc Shaiman (Hairspray,
City Slickers), Richard Marvin (The O.C. , Six Feet Under),
and Joel Goldsmith (Stargate SG-1, Witchblade).

Neal's latest projects include Stargate SG-1 and Stargate
Atlantis, the opening cinematic for Blizzard Entertainment's
World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion
and the independent film Juncture.
