Trevor Gureckis

Trevor Gureckis has earned recognition for composing scores in film and television, notably contributing to projects by M. Night Shyamalan on Servant and John Crowley on The Goldfinch, while also creating works for ballet and chamber ensembles alongside electronic remixes. Previously serving as an assistant to Philip Glass, he has taken on roles as arranger and orchestrator. His debut solo release, Corte from 2019, merged orchestral and electronic elements across a collection of concise instrumental pieces.

After completing his M.M. at the Yale School of Music in 2007, Gureckis handled score preparation for films such as Notes on a Scandal in 2006 and Cassandra's Dream in 2007 during his time assisting Philip Glass. Residing in New York City, he established the artist collective Found Objects together with Yale Music graduate Jay Wadley. During 2012 he produced and contributed performances to the album Rework: Philip Glass Remixed, which included appearances by Beck, Amon Tobin, and Cornelius. Early assignments scoring shorts and documentaries throughout the initial years of the 2010s culminated in his first feature-length credit as principal composer for the 2015 thriller Rattle the Cage. Concurrently he assisted with orchestration on Rufus Wainwright's opera Prima Donna, saw his composition Fixated Nights performed by the American Brass Quintet, and premiered the ballet Potential Energies in Brooklyn. Growing interest in his scoring work led to further credits on the 2017 television documentary Election Day: Lens Across America as well as the thrillers Wetlands in 2017 and Bloodline in 2018.

Corte appeared on Supertrain Records in 2019, the same year his music featured in the Brazilian productions Kardec and Amor Assombrado plus the Warner/Amazon adaptation The Goldfinch drawn from Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. He served as lead composer for the Apple TV+ series Servant, which premiered that November under the co-production of M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed select episodes.
