Graeme Revell - SPK, The Murray Fontana Orchestra, Vision II, SPKtR

Graeme Revell in conversation with David Eastaugh 

Soundtrack composer, experimental musician and author. Born in Auckland, New Zealand on 23 October 1955. Moved to Australia where he founded the legendary industrial band SPK in 1978. After 3 records of extreme noise assaults and controversial subjects, SPK turned toward synth-pop, consisting of just Revell and his then wife Sinan Leong.

In the mid 1980s Revell started the Musique Brut label to release some solo recordings in the fields of ambient and experimental music. He then evolved into composing soundtracks for a lot of mid and high-budget Hollywood productions, becoming very succesful at it.
