Welcome to the official web site of Grammy and multiple Emmy Award winning composer Brian Keane.
Multiple Emmy award winning composer, Grammy award winning producer, and noted guitarist Brian Keane has scored literally hundreds of films and television shows, and produced over 150 albums, mostly from his studio in the woods of Connecticut. His music has been hailed critically as "indelible and breathtaking" by the Los Angeles Times, "piercingly beautiful" by The New York Times and "masterful" by Newsweek, and he has been called a "musician's musician" by Downbeat, a "composer's composer" by The Hollywood Reporter, and “one of the most impressive musicians of the decade” by the editor of Billboard magazine.
Among Brian’s many enduring credits are “New York” the epic, multiple Emmy winning Burns documentary series that is among the biggest selling documentaries of all time, “Long Journey Home” which won a Grammy for it’s soundtrack in collaboration with The Chieftains, Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Sinead O’Connor, and others, the classic “Winter’s Solstice” record series for Windham Hill which he produced, and his ground breaking ethnic recordings with middle eastern musician Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Irish musician Joanie Madden, and many others.
In 2023, Brian scored the music to the moving holocaust film “Here Lived” for director Jane Wells, and 3rd Generation films, presented the induction trophy to Randy Edelman for the New England Music Hall of Fame, (Brian is already a member), worked on a 4 hour Ric Burns special on Dante’s Divine Comedy, a 12th century Italian literary masterpiece, for a PBS Easter special, scored the music to the 7 part history of SEC basketball for Emmy winning director Fritz Mitchell, along with “The Trials of Bobby Hoppe”, and “Bart Starr: America’s Quarterback”, specials, also for the SEC channel and the ESPN network. Also, George Barrett’s “Not Alone” album, produced by Brian, was released, and is currently streaming on all the major platforms.
Brian Keane Music, Inc. renewed its blanket lease with Disney for the third time this past fall of its Score To Picture production music library, now over 10,000 titles with nearly 200 curated albums, deriving from award winning music scores. This marks ten years since that arrangement originated, and it will go on for another five years at least. Score to Picture has supplied music for hundreds of movie scores and television shows, is distributed by Source Audio and SynchTank internationally, and is playing all over the world.
2023 also brought renovations to Brian Keane Music, Inc. studios and facilities.
More episodes of the classic New York series are planned for 2024, along with other projects.
