The X-Files theme is legendary, but I don't know if I've ever heard anything else by him. I think I'll look into his work a little.

Definitely an iconic theme. Please share any interesting work you come across of his!

RIP to the man who composed that iconic theme from one of the shows that was part of my teenage years.

This year is still becoming worse :(

The X-Files is a popular series here in Brazil too, and thanks for him that the emblematic 90's american sci-fi series turned into a excentric phenomenon around the world.

Rest in Peace :(

Seems like he was purely a TV composer all his life, aside from some (mostly dubious) movies. There's a lot, but what I sampled so far is just ordinary old tv themes. Maybe he really just captured lightning in a bottle with the X Files.

Dead at 78, leaving a wife, 3 daughters and several grandchildren, it seems like he had a good life and managed to work with what he loved doing. RIP

Welp, he did his job. Can't do more than that, he made memorable themes for TV, right up there with Mike Post and SJC

Nah, shit like this happens. People are gradually dying more this year than in the previous ones.
