Producer/Writer/Mixer Sean Beavan’s credibility for sonic artistry in industrial and metal is legendary. He has worked with some of it’s most influential juggernauts, such as NINE INCH NAILS, MARILYN MANSON, SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, PUSCIFER, FEOTUS and GUNS N ROSES.
With a knack for evoking emotion, the visual and voyeuristic quality of his critically acclaimed trip-hop band, 8mm, has led to 80% of their catalog being licensed to film and television.
Renown for his ability to translate ideas into sound, it is no surprise how quickly he is becoming popular with filmmakers through word of mouth and reputation.
He has so far scored 5 feature films, including 2017’s supernatural slasher “Don’t Kill It” starring Dolph Lundgren, directed by Mike Mendez, and “33 and Beyond: The Royal Art of Freemasonry” directed by Johnny Royal, and TV mega director TJ Scott’s 2015 “Death Valley”, and are working on the upcoming indie exorcism gone horribly wrong feature “The Cleansing Hour”. The pair have also scored 9 short films including the original short for “The Cleansing Hour” which scored over a dozen awards on the festival circuit in 2016 including several best horror short awards.
In the continuing tradition of Sean the control freak, he can’t help but want to score and do sound design and mix the films he is working on and has headed all three departments on several occasions including the multiple award winning “The Cleansing Hour” short film, 2015’s “June” directed by L. Gustavo Cooper, 2016’s “The Home” directed by L. Gustavo Cooper, 2017’s 33 and Beyond: The Royal Art of Freemasonry” directed by Johnny Royal, and 2017’s “December” directed by Luciana Faulhaber. He also Sound Designed Karyn Kusama’s 2017 short horror film “Her Only Living Son”. Last but not least Sean recently was one of the lead sound designers on Nicholas Ryan Howard’s audio book version of the graphic novel “Mortal Enemy”.
He is currently composing the score with Juliette Beavan for the feature length “The Cleansing Hour”, as a result of an overwhelming sweep of awards for the short.
