Ethan Stoller
Ethan Stoller is an American composer, music editor and producer from Chicago, Illinois.
Stoller's first film score was for the independently produced Roadrunner in 2001. Stoller has composed three film scores: Red Hook Justice aired on PBS; Loving & Cheating premiered on Cinemax; License to Play and "Julie and the Clown" were independent films on the festival circuit.
In 2006, he produced the track "BKAB" which appeared in the film V for Vendetta. The track featured the unusual mix of Indian beats and Hindi vocals,
speech excerpts by Malcolm X and Gloria Steinem, and a heavy guitar riff. Stoller collaborated with the Wachowskis again in 2006, co-producing the music for the player introductions at Chicago Bulls home games.
