Clint Mansell is an English musician and composer who gained fame in the 1980s with the rock band Pop Will Eat Itself and then became a successful film composer known best for his collaborations with director Darren Aronofsky. His score for Aronofsky's 2000 film 'Requiem for a Dream' featuring the Kronos Quartet reached number 14 on Billboard's Soundtracks Album Chart in 2016; a track from that score titled 'Lux Aeterna' is often heard on other film soundtracks and television programmes.
Born in Coventry, Mansell began playing pop music professionally as a teenager, formed a band called From Eden and then in the mid 1980s co-founded Pop Will Eat Itself. They had moderate U.K. chart success with singles and albums until they broke up in the mid-'90s. Mansell moved to New York and then to Los Angeles where he has become established as a composer for movies.
He scored Aronofsky's first feature film 'Pi' in 1998 and his second 'Requiem for a Dream' two years later. Other film work followed and he worked with the director again on 'The Fountain' (2006), 'The Wrestler' (2008) and 'Black Swan' (2010); the latter film was a major hit and Mansell's score was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Mansell has toured with the Kronos Quartet and he collaborated with Trent Reznor on the album 'The Fragile' by Nine Inch Nails. Other notable film scores include Duncan Jones's 'Moon' (2009), Chan-wook Park's 'Stoker' (2013), Aronofsky's 'Noah' (2014) and Ben Wheatley's 'High-Rise' (2015). In 2017, he wrote the score for the feature film 'Loving Vincent', directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman and made from oil paintings.
