Eric allaman a season of losses berlin diary


Eric Allaman is an American composer who has worked in Film, Television, Theater and Ballet. His career as a film composer began when he co-composed the score to Ridley Scott’s, “Legend” with Tangerine Dream. That opportunity led to Eric re-scoring the silent classic, “Battleship Potemkin” which was re-released in Europe and featured at the Berlin Film Festival.

Life and career

Born in Springfield, Missouri, Allaman’s family moved around the Mid-West and eventually settled in Dana Point, California. Allaman began studying the piano at age 7 and the guitar at age 16, and continued his studies at UCLA with an emphasis in music and theater.

Shortly after graduating, Allaman moved to Paris, France and ultimately West Berlin, Germany to further his musical career. After the success of “Legend” and Battleship Potemkin, Allaman returned to Los Angeles to field film scoring offers. He has scored over 30 movies and over 500 episodes of television and is best known for his scores to Legend, Battleship Potemkin, Latter Days, Witless Protection, Mike Hammer Private Eye, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Dante's Cove.

He has also written two musical/operas, Battleship Potemkin (1991) with Jeffrey Couchman and Voices from the Cellar (1989) with Robert White.

Recently, he released a collection of piano solos entitled Berlin Diary that play as a memoir of his life in West Berlin.
