Alex Davis_ is a distinct voice among today's young film composers. After earning his B.M. in piano performance from FSU in 2003, Alex moved to Manhattan to study film scoring at New York University. He went back to Florida after graduation in 2005, and continues to write for film and television productions around the country.

Alex's score for director Soojin Hwang’s "Tycho's Nova" brought the film an award for best music at the 2006 Student Emmys. In late 2005 he worked under composer Pat Irwin to write and arrange music for “Bam Bam and Celeste”, an off-beat comedy written by Margaret Cho and directed by Lorene Machado. He also created an ambient score for Tristan Higg’s 2005 short, "The Bigger Picture", a story of an eight-year-old's accidental encounter with the legacy of the holocaust.

Also in 2005, Alex premiered his music in New York City’s acclaimed Lincoln Center as part of the “Toons, Tunes, and Trikfilms” series. Conducted by Eugene Tzigane, the piece was performed live with Nick Ordway’s "How Much?”, a film portraying the interaction between a woman and a street vendor in Manhattan.

More recently, Alex finished the score for Bryan Yokomi’s “One of Many”, a film that depicts one man’s personal struggle to balance family, love, and loyalty in the midst of the WWII Japanese Interment Camps [demo]. He also just completed a short set of large orchestral works for Ryan Causey’s “Theatre of the Absurd”, a film satirizing the 21st Century concert-going experience [demo].

Alex also serves as the Coordinator of the Audio Lab and Recording Studio at the Florida State University Dance Department, where he creates original compositions for faculty and student choreographers.
