Clinton Darryl "Clint" Mansell, (born 7 January 1963) is an English musician, composer, and former lead singer and guitarist of the band Pop Will Eat Itself.

After the disbanding of Pop Will Eat Itself in 1996, Mansell was introduced to film scoring when director Darren Aronofsky hired him to score his debut film, π. Mansell then wrote the score for Aronofsky's next film, Requiem for a Dream, which has been well received. Its main composition "Lux Aeterna" has become extremely popular, appearing in a wide variety of advertisements and film trailers.

Mansell's composition for The Fountain was nominated for Best Original Score at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards. His other notable film scores include Moon, Smokin' Aces, The Wrestler, and Black Swan.

Biography

Début de carrière musicale
Mansell fut le chanteur et le guitariste du groupe Pop Will Eat Itself. Lorsqu'ils signèrent avec Nothing Records, Mansell devint ami avec Trent Reznor. Il fit aussi les chœurs sur l'album The Fragile de Nine Inch Nails.


Compositeur de musiques de films
Après la dissolution de Pop Will Eat Itself en 1996, Clint Mansell se fit connaitre grâce à son ami le réalisateur Darren Aronofsky qui l'engagea afin qu'il réalise la bande son de son premier film, Pi. Il composa ensuite la bande originale du second film d'Aronofsky, Requiem for a Dream, qui fut particulièrement bien reçu des critiques comme du public et contribua grandement à lancer sa carrière. Le titre Lux æterna est devenu extrêmement populaire, apparaissant souvent, notamment dans des bandes-annonces.

La composition de Mansell pour le film The Fountain, troisième long métrage de Darren Aronofsky, a été nommé en tant que Meilleure musique de film à la 64e cérémonie des Golden Globes.

Depuis lors, Mansell a composé la musique des autres films de Darren Aronofsky, à savoir The Wrestler, Black Swan et Noé.

Ses autres compositions incluent la bande son du film The Hole, la musique de l'épisode pilote de la série Les Experts : Manhattan (CSI: NY), ou encore celle d'HBO, Voyeur. La chanson fut également utilisée comme thème de base pour "Throw It Up" de Lil Jon. En 2009, il signe également la bande originale du film Moon.

Sa dernière réalisation en date a été celle de la musique du film Stoker.

Mansell a rassemblé un certain nombre d'admirateurs pour ses compositions, si bien que le réalisateur du film Mi$e à prix, Joe Carnahan, a reçu insultes et menaces parce que la bande sonore ne contient, pour certains, pas assez de compositions de Clint Mansell.


Musique de bande-annonce
La bande-annonce du jeu vidéo Le Seigneur des anneaux : Le Retour du roi sur PlayStation 2 contient un arrangement de "Lux Æterna", utilisant un orchestre complet et des chœurs. Le morceau, nommé "Requiem for a Tower", a été composé spécialement pour la bande-annonce. Il a été arrangé par Simone Benyacar, Dan Nielsen, et Veigar Margeirsson.

"Lux Æterna" est devenu un titre populaire, la version originale aussi bien que "Requiem for a Tower" apparaissant en une multitude d'occasions, par exemple dans la bande-annonce des matchs des Red Sox de Boston et des Yankees de New York durant la Ligue majeure de baseball de 2007, et dans les bandes-annonces des films Zathura : Une aventure spatiale, Da Vinci Code, Sunshine, Babylon A.D., des séries Lost et Top Gear. En 2006, le titre fut utilisé dans les bandes-annonces d'EuroSport LIVE. America's Got Talent l'utilisa aussi en tant qu'introduction des juges avant d'être légèrement modifiée. La nouvelle variante est maintenant récurrente dans l'émission.
Lux Aeterna fut, et est encore, régulièrement utilisée par plusieurs émissions télévisées.

Le titre "Death Is the Road to Awe" issue de la bande son de The Fountain a été utilisé dans la bande-annonce du film Je suis une légende, dans celle du film The Mist, ainsi que dans celle de Frost/Nixon.

En 1891, à Arles, le facteur Joseph Roulin demande à son fils Armand de remettre une lettre à Théodorus van Gogh, le frère du peintre Vincent van Gogh qui s'est donné la mort. Armand est très récalcitrant : même si Van Gogh avait peint son portrait quelque temps plus tôt, Armand reste persuadé, comme la plupart des gens, que Vincent Van Gogh était un fou plus ou moins dangereux. Armand accepte à contrecœur pour faire plaisir à son père. Mais il apprend que le frère de l'artiste est mort quelques mois plus tard. La mission d'Armand semble ne plus avoir de sens, mais, dans l'intervalle, les premiers éléments qu'il a appris sur la mort du peintre lui ont donné envie d'en savoir plus. Dès lors, Armand se rend à Auvers-sur-Oise pour enquêter sur la vie intime et artistique de Vincent van Gogh.

Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), a young dancer in a prestigious New York City ballet company, lives with her mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), a former dancer herself. The company is preparing to open the season with Swan Lake. The director, Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel), has to cast a new principal dancer after forcing Beth Macintyre (Winona Ryder) into retirement. Thomas wants the same ballerina to portray the innocent, fragile White Swan as well as her dark, sensual twin, the Black Swan. Nina auditions for the part, performing flawlessly as the White Swan, but not quite able to emulate the characteristics of the Black Swan. Although Nina does not do well during her audition, she approaches Thomas and asks him to reconsider her as the lead role. He tells her she is the ideal dancer to cast as the White Swan, but she lacks the passion needed to correctly portray the Black Swan.
