Composition
Robert Gowan has been a composer and songwriter since graduating USC in 2008. Receiving his B.A. in music, he has written and recorded six studio albums with his band Wasted Wine. Frequently working with songwriting partner Adam Murphy, Robert wrote his first feature score for 'Victims' in 2010 and has since shifted his focus towards film composition working on numerous short films and video games. Each score is tailored to the project creatively and vastly different in tone and instrumentation. While diversity and range remains a passion, as a violinist, one of his strengths remains string orchestra arrangements.
