In 2010 Tyler was inducted into the music branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Musical career
Robert Kraft, who was impressed after hearing Tyler's music, encouraged Tyler to pursue a career in film scoring. He began his career in 1997, where he composed the film score for the independent film Bartender by Gabe Torres. The following year, he and Red Elvises composed the film score for Six-String Samurai.[1] Tyler wrote several musical scores, based on rap music for Simon Sez (1999). John Williams recommended Tyler to producer William Sherak for Four Dogs Playing Poker (2000). He has since scored four other films produced by Sherak, Darkness Falls (2003) and Bangkok Dangerous (2008), Middle Men (film) (2010), and Columbus Circle (2010) which he was an executive producer with Sherak.
Tyler's breakthrough came in 2001, after composing the film score for Frailty (2001).
"Well, the first film released that I scored was Six-String Samurai, but it was Frailty that helped me get some more exposure."[2]
William Friedkin, after being impressed by Frailty, called Tyler in to compose The Hunted (2003). Later, Tyler also wrote music for Star Trek: Enterprise, and Children of Dune over a span of one month, coinciding with his work on Darkness Falls.[3]
At the end of 2003, Tyler began working more on big-budget films, including Timeline (2003), Godsend (2004), The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005), and Constantine (2005).[4]
He was then hired to do Partition (2007). He had to integrate Indian and Middle Eastern music with orchestral writing. He conducted the orchestral portion of the score in Los Angeles with the Hollywood Studio Symphony.[5]
In 2008, Tyler composed music for the 2008 films Rambo, Eagle Eye,[6] and The Lazarus Project.
He continued by composing Dragonball Evolution,[7][8] Fast & Furious, The Final Destination, and recently Middle Men. Tyler was also one of the executive producers of Skyline, scored by his colleague Matthew Margeson.
On September 5, 2011 Tyler announced that he is currently in talks for scoring the 2011 remake of Highlander and scoring pilot episodes for the animated series Transformers: Prime.[9] Later, he has scored next 4 episodes. On October 7 it was announced that Tyler has been chosen to compose the music for pilot to the Steven Spielberg produced TV series Terra Nova.[10]
In October 2012, Tyler signed on to score Iron Man 3.[11] The score is being recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios utilizing the recent Dolby Atmos recording technology.[citation needed] Tyler is the third primary composer to score an Iron Man film, following Ramin Djawadi of Iron Man and John Debney of Iron Man 2.
Other media
Tyler's cues for Children of Dune were used in the theatrical trailers for Star Trek (2009), Master and Commander (2003), Sahara (2005), Cinderella Man (2005), The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). The track "Summon the Worms" from Children of Dune was used as a leader for the Belgian/Dutch show Peking Express, and in the first leaked promotional reel for The Golden Compass (2007).[12] A version of the track "War Begins" is used in the first full-length theatrical trailer of Star Trek (2009).[13]
A cue from The Final Cut was used for the theatrical trailer for The Da Vinci Code (2006), and a track from Tyler's score for Annapolis was used for the theatrical trailer for World Trade Center (2006).
