Joseph Bishara

After an early influence of classical music, Bishara began experimenting with electronic and experimental music, becoming interested in Tangerine Dream. He became engrossed in horror film scores after watching the silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari of 1920 and the 1922 horror classic Nosferatu. In the late 1980s he became a member of the industrial band Yesterday's Tear, later known as Drown. By around 1994, he was signed to a record and touring contract with Drown. He also briefly toured with Prong.
Although Bishara's film score work began with the Biblical drama Joseph's Gift in 1998, most of his subsequent work has comprised horror films starting with Unearthed and The Gravedancers in 2006 and Night of the Demons in 2009. His collaborations with filmmaker James Wan led to his prominence as a film score composer and popularity in the industry.
