In October 2003, an unexpected email popped up in Kevin's inbox. In response to his recent music for Crush, it read:
"Your score besides being so right for the movie, also displayed a rare quality among composers these days: You write terrific melodies! I was very impressed."
Burt Berman President, Music Division, Paramount Pictures
How many composers can boast Kevin Sargent's multi-faceted background as a musician and stage performer? Perhaps it is this which gives his work such appeal, in which memorable, evocative themes are integrated in an imaginative, poly-stylistic approach. Whether it is a sinister, deadpan bossanova (BBC TV's recent Macbeth) or timeless autumnal lyricism (William Boyd's meditation on the Sonnets, A Waste of Shame, starring Rupert Graves), Kevin's artful and haunting scores never fail to lift the work they serve; he has that rare ability of capturing the very spirit of any project lucky enough to have him.
