David James Nielsen is a very talented up and coming composer whose credits so far include the award-winning horror film Tales from Beyond, the fantasy film Small Town Folk (starring Warwick Davis) - and Haunting Villisca, an atmospheric ghost story based on the true story of Iowa's history, unsolved Villisca axe murders and the actual paranormal investigations there.

The film is directed by James Serpento and was shot on location at the actual house where the murders took place in 1912. Nielsen's strikingly rich orchestral score, recorded in Prague and conducted by Adam Klemens, features several beautiful themes for solo instruments such as cello, harp and flute, working as an effective contrast to the atmospheric and eerie suspense music.

David James Nielsen was born in Calgary, AB, Canada and entered the musical world playing piano starting at age six. He began composing at age 15 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree in music from the University of Calgary. From 1997 to 2003, David served as Composer-In-Residence for Pleiades Theatre/Vertigo Mystery Theatre in Calgary, and composed the musical scores for approximately twenty-eight theatrical plays. In 2003, David earned a certificate in Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television from the University of Southern California, where he was honored with the Harry Warren Scholarship Award.

Haunting Villisca is yet another example of a low budget score that really sounds like it was written for a very good, big Hollywood movie. For more info about the film, please visit the official web site here: http://www.hauntingvillisca.com/
