Warner David Jansen: Music Composer Warner David Jansen has been studying music since age 7. He first learned to play the piano, instructed by his mother who was a skilled concert pianist. Well trained in the piano and oboe by his teenage years, he went on to teach piano and later to play in a progressive rock band. He decided to quit the band to enroll in an all-music tech school, the Dick Grove School of Music, where he studied Jazz Piano, Composing and Arranging and Film Scoring full-time for 3 ½ years. One of Warner's first film scoring assignments, and his first collaboration with Doug Atchison, was on the USC thesis film ELLEN'S FATHER. Since then he has gone on to score other independent films, documentaries, and has just now released “Lasting Impressions”, his first CD of original music. The album is a mellow blend of pop, jazz instrumental, vocal jazz ballads, and a little something extra for the eclectic music lover. Warner’s other passions in life include philosophy, mountain biking, and of course... movies! Warner’s Top Ten Favorite Films of all time: 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey Possibility 2. To Kill a Mockingbird Integrity 3. Casablanca Passion 4. Red (from trilogy) Dichotomy 5. Reds Commitment 6. Lawrence of Arabia Destiny 7. Cinema Paradisio Love 8. Dr. Zhivago Water from the Wound 9.
