Alan Silvestri：著名电影音乐作曲家，1950年3月26日生于纽约。Alan Silvestri小时候就对音乐有浓厚的兴趣，3岁开始便玩鼓、学吉他以及木管。1967年高中毕业后，他进入以爵士乐著称的波士顿伯克利音乐学院学习。19岁的时候搬到拉斯维加斯，与当地的一个节奏布鲁斯乐团一起巡回演出。此后，他接受一份合同，准备出一张可能是为了他女朋友而写的专辑。但第一张支票就被拒付，他们意识到很可能是被骗并签了份假合同，而且还要为此终生背上债务。于是Alan Silvestri来到洛杉矶，准备重新借款自己发行专辑，但没能成功。一无所有的Alan Silvestri滞留在了洛杉矶。后来他的朋友把他介绍给了Bradford Craig。Bradford Craig 曾凭借和Quincy Jones的合作获过一次奥斯卡金像奖提名，他为Alan Silvestri安排了一些工作。Of composer Alan Silvestri's many film scores, he is perhaps best-known for his work with director Robert Zemeckis, starting with their first movie project, Romancing the Stone, and continuing through the next decades with many more blockbuster classics. Silvestri began playing music at a young age while growing up in Teaneck, NJ, and was already considering a music career by the age of 15. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but after only two years moved out to Las Vegas and started touring with Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders. Silvestri became interested in arranging and ended up stranded in Los Angeles after a job opportunity for arranging fell through. He got his first break at around the age of 20, when he met Golden Globe and Oscar nominee lyricist Bradford Craig; through Craig, he got a job scoring the small film (with no previous scoring experience) The Doberman Gang (1972). After this, Silvestri worked on other low-budget movies until getting a steady job in 1977 scoring the television series ChiPs. After the show was canceled, Silvestri's career hit a dry period that ended when he teamed up with Zemeckis on a film that proved to be a big break for all involved: Romancing the Stone (1984). Silvestri and Zemeckis have teamed up on many successful films since, including Back to the Future (1985), Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), the number one box office hit Forrest Gump (1994), and What Lies Beneath (2000). Silvestri has scored many films outside of his work with Zemeckis, as well, including Flight of the Navigator (1986), Predator (1987), The Abyss (1989), The Bodyguard (1992), The Quick and the Dead (1995), Stuart Little (1999), and many more. Some of Silvestri's music was released on CD, including the soundtracks for Richie Rich (1994), Father of the Bride, Part II (1995), The Quick and the Dead, and the compilation Voyages: The Film Music Journeys of Alan Silvestri.
