About the Composer(s)
Paul Haslinger is an Austrian-born composer and musician renowned for his innovative, high-energy electronic scores and atmospheric textures. Born in Linz, Austria, Haslinger studied classical music at the Academy of Music and the University of Vienna before rising to prominence as a core member of the legendary German electronic music group Tangerine Dream from 1986 to 1990. During his tenure with the band, he contributed to several album releases and film soundtracks, cementing his passion for film scoring.
After relocating to Los Angeles, Haslinger launched a successful solo career. His notable filmography includes the dark gothic-action scores for the Underworld franchise (including the original Underworld and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Paul W. S. Anderson's Death Race and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, and the acclaimed AMC television series Halt and Catch Fire. For the 2006 high-concept action-thriller Crank, Haslinger crafted a manic, industrial, and adrenaline-pumping electronic score that matches the film's frenetic visual pacing, utilizing distorted synths, heavy percussion, and driving guitar riffs to reflect Chev Chelios' desperate race against time.

Did you know?
- Shot on Budget-Friendly HD Cameras: Crank was famous for its hyper-frenetic cinematography. Directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor shot the film using lightweight, high-definition consumer and prosumer cameras (like the Sony CineAlta HDC-F950 and Canon XL-H1), allowing them to shoot on the move and act as their own camera operators, often on rollerblades.
- Chev Chelios' Ringtone: Throughout the movie, Chev Chelios' cell phone rings with a distinct 8-bit synthetic tune. This ringtone is actually the theme song from the classic NES video game Duck Hunt.
- Paul Haslinger's Tangerine Dream Roots: Composer Paul Haslinger brought his extensive experience from the pioneering German electronic band Tangerine Dream to Crank, utilizing a combination of heavily distorted analog synths and aggressive industrial rock beats to keep the auditory pace at a constant high.
- Jason Statham Performed His Own Stunts: Leading man Jason Statham, who has a background in diving and martial arts, performed almost all of his own physical stunts, including the dangerous helicopter climax hanging high above Los Angeles.
- A Real-Life Adrenaline Soundtrack: The film's licensed soundtrack features a fast-tempo, diverse selection of hard rock, punk, and metal bands, including Quiet Riot ('Metal Health'), Loverboy ('Turn Me Loose'), Jefferson Starship ('Miracles'), and Nocturne.
