Tyler Bates is a music producer and composer for films. His most known work includes "The Hangman's Song" and various other tracks from the zombie horror film Dawn of the Dead, and 2008's Day of the Dead. Other projects include Rob Zombie's Halloween, Halloween II, The Devil's Rejects, Zack Snyder's 300 and Watchmen, Neil Marshall's Doomsday, See No Evil and Slither. Tyler Bates spent his formative years in Chicago, developing his keen obsession with music. An avid enthusiast, his mother introduced him to a wide range of recording artists; from Zappa to Coltrane, Simon and Garfunkel to Sly Stone. The soundtrack albums for the Broadway musicals Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar left an impression upon him, both compositionally and emotionally. His cousins introduced him to rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Kiss and Bates dropped his alto saxophone in favour of an electric guitar. He then found the early records of U2, Gang of Four, and King Crimson which influenced the principles apparent in his music today. The limitations of his home studio equipment became an integral part of his creative process sparking an experimental approach in effort to complete his compositional ideas. He began daisy-chaining cassette recorders to produce multi-track recordings. An Echoplex and other sound mutation devices became the gateway to his atmospheric explorations and counter-rhythmic sensibilities, as he studied the effects of varying tape speeds on live and pre-recorded sound sources.
