About The Author

Jean-Baptiste Martin

A passionate author

Jean-Baptiste Martin hails from Normandy in France. Passionate about film music, he has devoted much of his life to exploring the work of James Horner.

Since 2011, he has developed the James Horner Film Music reference website. His visit to the composer’s studio in Los Angeles inspired the idea of a book bringing together all known information on the composer.

Jean-Baptiste Martin and James Horner

“Jean-Baptiste has written an extraordinary book. For those of us lucky enough to work with James, it’s a time capsule of memories. For anyone who cares about film music, it’s a unique insight into the spirit, art and work of James’ life.”

Simon Franglen

Composer of Avatar The Way of Water, The Magnificent Seven and Horner collaborator.

“The amount of thought and dedicated research that has gone into this book is quite frankly staggering. Jean-Baptiste Martin has unearthed details about James Horner projects that I had long forgotten, even though I worked on them. It’s a great tribute to the emotional life and process of an artist.”
