Biography
Edgar Arens is a Russian composer living in Moscow.
He was born in 1976 to a family of performers. His father was an actor in the theatre and his mother was an opera singer. He began playing the piano when he was four years old, starting to compose only two years later. Although he never studied formally, he is a highly accomplished composer and musician. After many years of working with religious music, he became struck by great Hollywood soundtracks and started to work in this direction. His favorite musicians were Ronald Stein, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, James Newton Howard, Danny Elfman, Dario Marianelli, Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Howard Shore, James Horner, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, Trevor Rabin and so on. Their music challenged him, distracted him and forced him in a certain definite musical direction.
In addition to his love of these composers, he was simultaneously drawn to popular music, but wished to add a certain musical depth to a contemporary music, rich in various genres, but often musically and lyrically shallow.
