His Hellraiser is genius.

[@NihilQuest]

I love how he sings melodies with his Tom Waits type of voice.

[@miguelv9948]

[@lukasobermajer4235]

Thank you for continuing this amazing "creative sparks" series !

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

I friggin love these type of videos! I'm amazed that he doesn't watch these films on a bigger screen so as to emulate the theater experience. Nonetheless most of Chris Young's film scores fill any theater with the most wondrous compositions.

[@sharonspaulding9564]

Love this - I had no real idea as to the specifics of the process of composing for a movie. Several take aways that apply to writing, specifically, the way he pulls out a calendar and schedules his time to meet deadlines!

[@MrsCrazyrange]

Yes, I got that as well today!

[@Ndo01]

More composers please.

[@Legoflymaster89]

Amazing ,love this series.. I work as a music producer/composer and this is so inspiring to watch.. Thanks..

[@NxcturnalSounds]

Sinister has the most horrific soundtrack ever created because of this guy.

[@G--qq2bo]

Mr. Young's score for Hard Rain and in particular, The Core, are among my top favorites. I grew up on loving that disaster movie, as cheesy and bad as it is, but the music is always something I caught myself humming, whistling and trying to replicate on piano and keyboard.

So inspiring 😍

[@wallacepontes1862]

Amazing

[@SallyGreenaway]

Do composers have time for a full personal life outside work?
