Roque Baños
Roque Baños (born 1968) is a Spanish music composer whose place of birth is Jumilla, a municipality in the major Spanish city of Murcia. Baños graduated from Boston's Berklee College of Music in 1995 and has since scored both Spanish and English-language films. He has received numerous awards for his compositional work, including the Spanish Goya Award for Best Original Score in both 2008 and 2009.
Although Baños initially developed his skills as a concert musician, he soon decided to focus on composition. His approach to film music is due to his education at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. There, he studied music composition with David Spear and orchestral direction with Gregory Fridge, specializing in composition for film scores and jazz, winning several awards, among them the Robert Share Award for showing the highest dramatic level in the area of film score. He graduated with Summa Cum Laude in the branches of film score and jazz composition.
Back in Spain, after a brief period in the short film scene, he began to compose for the big screen thanks to actor Gabino Diego. Since then he has composed many works along with fellow Spanish composer Alberto Iglesias.
In 2008, he received the Goya Award for Best Original Score for the soundtrack of Las 13 rosas.
He composed an American film for the first time in the 2013 horror film Evil Dead.
His music is notable for a great jazz influence, as showed in the majority of his works and especially in El robo más grande jamás contado (Greatest Robbery ever). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
