Today we’re headed out to the beautiful Rainbow Ridge Ranch in Acton, California, just an hour north of LA. There I’m meeting composer Brandon Campbell and he’s going to show this city slicker how to ride a horse. So saddle up and join us for this episode of Composers out of the studio.

Brandon Campbell is not just one of the best dressed composers, he’s also one of the most talented and versatile. He began working at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions right out of college, and quickly gained the interest of composer Ramin Djawadi, first working as his assistant and then contributing music to high profile projects like Game of Thrones, Person of Interest, Eternals, Gears of War, and a little show called Westworld. Brandon has also composed the music for Slender Man, Pacific Rim the Black, Amazing Stories, and last year he won the Emmy award for his score to the Netflix series The Letter for The King.
