He's not sweating it, either.
Mark Mothersbaugh is a rather unique individual with a very
innovative musical style. He was the lead singer of the
progressive funk rock band Devo for many years, before turning
his hand to film scoring in the late 80's. He formed a group
named Mutato Muzika who, somewhat similarly to Tangerine Dream
and Pray for Rain, specialise in film scores, television,
interactive video games and commercials. As a solo composer,
Mothersbaugh has taken advantage of his long-standing links with
the Saturday Night Live cast by scoring many of their spinoff
movies, including 'It's Pat', 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Bottle
Rocket', and has also begun to compose slightly more serious
works for TV movies and series including "Sliders" and
"Fired Up". His most successful and popular works,
however, are probably for the cult cartoon series "Rugrats",
which has recently been turned into an animated feature, and the
hit comedy "Rushmore". Mothersbaugh's unique musical
style is sure to keep him and his Mutato colleagues in work for
a long time. |
