The Newton Brothers (Andy Grush & Taylor Newton Stewart) are composers, producers, conductors and multi-instrumentalists most known for their scores for motion pictures such as: Oculus, Extinction, Gerald's Game, The Haunting of Hill House and more.
Biography
Early on in their lives both Andy and Taylor were inspired to combine music and visuals and seek a career in film composition. They are both accomplished musicians and multi-instrumentalists who can play piano, guitar, bass, clarinet, flute, accordion, sax, harmonica, percussion, organ, kazoo and cello. Together they apprenticed under Hans Zimmer and co-scored with Danny Elfman on the Mike Flanagan thriller, Before I Wake. [1]
The Newton Brothers have been scoring feature films together for over a decade, catching their big break scoring Tony Kaye’s acclaimed drama, Detachment, which starred and was produced by Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody.[2] In 2013 they began their work in horror films with Mike Flanaghan and Blumhouse Productions including Oculus, which The Irish Times said, "Andy and Taylor Newton’s dynamic combination of simple melodic fragments, aleatory noise (broken glass, metal scrapes) and a solemn choir gradually inject the seriously spooky Oculus with nerve-shredding suspense and skin-crawling dread," [3] and Ouija: Origin of Evil. [4] They have since gone on to score multiple horror genre projects for film and television.
