Film musics

After a disappointing round in 1995, Trevor Rabin decides to leave Yes and to be directed towards the composition of film music. One owes him in particular the original soundtracks of the Wings of the hell (1997), with Mark Mancina, of Armageddon and Ennemi of State (1998), with Harry Gregson-Williams, of 60 second stopwatch (2000), of Bad Boys II (2003) or of Of the snakes on the aircraft (2006).

In spite of appearances, Trevor Rabin forever belonged to the Media Ventures TEAM strictly speaking, refusing even to be affiliated to the studio by preoccupation with an independence. Simply, its bonds with Jerry Bruckheimer which itself is very connected to Hans Zimmer made that it regularly was to work with members of the studio or with the studio even (with in particular Harry Gregson-Williams, Steve Jablonsky or his/her friend Mark Mancina).
