Sven Faulconer

Composer · Ghent, Belgium

Sven Faulconer, originally from Belgium, is a Los Angeles-based composer for film and TV. He employs a wide and unique range of musical styles, as reflected in the varied list of credits acquired by him over the years. Recent scores of his include 'Scream VI' which he co-wrote with Brian Tyler, the 4th installment of the Hellboy saga 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' and the heartwarming indie comedy drama 'Lost and Found in Cleveland' with a legendary cast including Martin Sheen, June Squibb and Stacy Keach. He wrote the music for the Netflix comedy series 'Unstable' with Mark Foster and recently scored the New Regency film 'Psycho Killer'. His music for the 2023 Oscar winning documentary 'The Elephant Whisperers' got a nomination for best score at the Jackson Wild Media Awards and at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and his score for the National Geographic documentary 'The Last Ice' got nominated for the Critics Choice Documentary Award. His music can be heard in commercials like the Toyota Highlander Super Bowl ad. His original approach in independent productions has resulted in numerous soundtracks with a very distinctive character, including the score for the Emmy-nominated National Geographic documentary 'Into the Okavango', 'Blood Father' (Amazon), 'Wanderland' (Amazon Prime) and 'Assimilate' (Netflix). A keen sense for collaboration and strong story-telling skills have earned him credits on movies like 'Top Gun: Maverick', 'Aquaman', 'Falcon and the Winter Soldier', 'Ad Astra', 'Black Widow', 'Abominable', 'The Hunger Games' series and 'Nightcrawler'. Beginning formal music training at age 8, Sven became a passionate clarinet player and showed an early knack for improvisation and composition. His studies took him on an exciting journey starting in Ghent (Belgium), later moving to Rome to conclude his academic career in Los Angeles at the renowned UCLA Film Scoring Program. In addition to his own projects, Sven also has ongoing collaborations with several other composers including Brian Tyler, James Newton Howard, Rupert Gregson-Williams, Steve Jablonsky, Henry Jackman and Lorne Balfe.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
