Warren Ellis

Warren Ellis is a renowned Australian multi-instrumentalist, composer, and a core member of several influential music groups. Ellis is perhaps best known for his work with the instrumental rock band Dirty Three, and his significant role in Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, where he has become a key collaborator with frontman Nick Cave. Born on February 14, 1965, Ellis' talents are not confined to a single instrument; he is a virtuoso on the violin, a skilled pianist, and plays a plethora of other instruments including flute, mandolin, guitar, and bouzouki.

Over the years, Warren Ellis has extended his artistry into the realm of film and television scoring, often working with Nick Cave. Demonstrating their prolific partnership, Ellis has co-composed scores for films such as "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and "The Road," showcasing his versatility and emotive power. His recent solo releases, including the hauntingly beautiful "Australian Carnage" and the evocative "Blonde" soundtrack, further cement his reputation as a gifted and in-demand composer. His works are marked by their atmospheric intensity and an ability to blend classical sensibilities with contemporary experimental sounds – a testament to Ellis' boundless musical exploration and enduring impact on the international music scene.
