Michael Kamen

Michael Kamen studied at Julliard and joined a rock group mixing the rock with classical music with great success. Since then he worked with several artists, such as Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Luciano Pavarotti, Metallica, Bryan Adams and many more. With Eric Clapton compose some soundtracks such as Edge of Darkness and Lethal Weapon and he also worked on more classical concertos. His career was one of the most diverse that one can find. Let us remember his music and life with some extracts from his interviews and appearances.
 
This is a list of the appearances on TV or movies, concerts, interviews, books, article magazines and related material. I am still researching for his works so what you see here is a sample of what would be featured soon.
