A Message from Nan

Seattle composer, Nan Avant, creates music for film, documentary, animation, television and video projects.

This web site includes my Audio music samples, links to Trailers on YouTube, a link to The Moyer Foundation Camp Erin PSA my Biographical sketch, and News with updates on recent and current projects.

I became interested in film music at an early age. I have always loved the music of several composers inlcuding, Hans Zimmer, Rachel Portman, Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. My own music includes influences of classical, Latin, contemporary, electronic and jazz.

Film scoring is a collaborative, creative process between the film director and music composer. Capturing the right style, texture and mood of the music involves viewing a film, reading the screenplay and discussing ideas to thoroughly understand the director's objectives and vision for the film.
