Turner regularly writes film and television scores for Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix and Hulu shows. Nielson's work has been featured in some of the highest grossing films of all time, including Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Moana, Finding Dory, Avatar, Solo: A Star Wars Story, There Will Be Blood, and most recently, Jurassic World Rebirth. The two first met at the Sundance Labs, hosted at Skywalker, and it was immediately clear that they both had the same passion for exploring audio, and that music and sound design work best in tandem with each other.
“We like to get involved early, sometimes even before the shoot," shares Turner. "We love participating in the creative vision so that music and sound are cohesive to that vision, rather than doing a mad dash of searching through libraries at the end, hoping to get lucky. We adopt a tailored and crafted range of ideas, to make each project the best it can possibly be.”
"Our shared experiences have taught us both the desire to leave no stone unturned in our search for more emotional uses of sound and music," adds Nielson, "but also the need and ability to work fast and flexibly on a wide range of projects."
