Stewart Copeland

One of the most influential drummers and founding member of one of the biggest bands in rock history. Stewart Copeland's reggae and middle-eastern inspired sound and style is instantly recognizable. Always restless musically, he began writing film scores (Francis Coppola's Rumble Fish was the first) at the height of the Police's fame. A journey to Africa to explore the continent's rhythms resulted in an album and a film. Dozens of movie and TV scores followed, as did collaborations with such disparate artists as Stanley Clarke and Les Claypool. He was an early adopter of electronics. He's penned operas and ballets. Copeland's latest work is the symphonic score to the 1925 silent film classic Ben Hur
