Neil Argo
Music
Film and television composer, Neil Argo's dramatic and provocative scores have been heard around the world. From the new MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, WILD AMERICA and BEVERLY HILLS 90210, to the far reaches of South African National Geographic documentaries, he has composed for many noteworthy projects.
Neil's scores have involved full studio orchestras, as well as electronic synthesis. While he prefers the sound of an acoustic ensemble, he is very comfortable combining both worlds, hybrid scores, using both acoustic, electronic and sampled synthesis.
Neil is a member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists and a member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Graduating from the University of Northern Colorado with a Master of Music degree in Theory and Composition and a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Composition from the University of North Texas, he was awarded a Composer-In-Residence Grant by Colorado Council on the Arts in 1985, funded by the National Endowments for the Arts. In 1994, Neil was honored by the University of Northern Colorado with an Honored Alumni of the Year Award for his accomplishments in media.
Neil is a resident of Los Angeles, California.
