Michael Yezerski
Australian composer Michael Yezerski’s often avant-garde approach to film and television scores has earned him plaudits for his evolving sound, be it for horror movies such as 2019’s The Vigil or full orchestral grandeur for 2022's children’s film Ivy + Bean.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Yezerski started playing the clarinet at the age of seven before teaching himself how to play piano. After graduating from high school he studied formal classical composition for four years before realizing that film and television scoring was where he wanted to be. After a stint at film school he started to write for numerous short films and in 2007, he composed his first full-length film, Cross Life. Over the following years, he extended his skills working with comedy, animation, and drama scores for Outback, Mental, and The Little Death. 2015 saw him scoring his first entire TV show, the Sydney-based detective series Winter, before more work on television appeared, including the 2017 series Wolf Creek. In the following years he moved between film and television, adding a unnerving score to Keith Thomas’ The Vigil in 2019 and a mischievous orchestral score to 2022's Ivy + Bean. The end of 2022 saw Yezerski also score an episode of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.
