BSX DIGITAL presents music composed by J.A.C. Redford (CONAGHER, HEAVYWEIGHTS, NEWSIES) for THE ASTRONOMERS. Airing on KCET in 1991,THE ASTRONOMERS was a six-part documentary series about scientists searching for answers about the cosmos. Created by James F. Golway, the series explores the lives and work of noted modern-day astronomers, taking the viewer into the farthest reaches of outer space in search of black holes, quasars, dark matter, gravity waves, stars and evidence of planets outside of our solar system. THE ASTRONOMERS received generous funding from the W. M. Keck Foundation and offered some of the best special effects ever seen on public television at the time.
J.A.C. Redford is a composer, arranger, orchestrator and conductor of concert, chamber and choral music, film, television and theater scores, and music for recordings.
Redford has written the scores for more than three dozen feature films, TV movies or miniseries, including THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING,WHAT THE DEAF MAN HEARD, MAMA FLORA’S FAMILY and Disney’s OLIVER & COMPANY, NEWSIES and THE MIGHTY DUCKS II and III. He has composed the music for nearly500 episodes of series television, including multiple seasons of COACH and ST. ELSEWHERE (for which he received two Emmy nominations).
Collaborating with other artists, Redford has orchestrated, arranged or conducted for Academy Award-winning composers, James Horner, Alan Menken, Randy Newman and Rachel Portman and John Williams, as well as for Terence Blanchard, Danny Elfman, Simon Franglen, Mark Isham, Thomas Newman, Marc Shaiman, and Cirque du Soleil’s Benoit Jutras, on projects including THE LITTLE MERMAID, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE PERFECT STORM, WALL-E, AVATAR,SKYFALL, BRIDGE OF SPIES, 1917 and most recently AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, A MAN CALLED OTTO, and ELEMENTAL. He orchestrated and conducted Adele’s Oscar-winning title song for SKYFALL, wrote arrangements for Joshua Bell’s VOICE OF THE VIOLIN, AT HOME WITH FRIENDS and MUSICAL GIFTS recordings, Anne Akiko Meyers’ SERENADE: THE LOVE ALBUM and has written for and recorded with other Grammy Award-winning artists Steven Curtis Chapman, Bonnie Raitt and Sting.
