Kyle Dixon

It’s a new golden era in film and television scores. Over the last 15 years, directors have increasingly searched for bold new sounds in places where they should have been looking all along, DIY venues, clubs, and the more adventurous corners of record stores. Even within this climate, the rise of the prolific, Texas-raised composer duo Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein is remarkable. With roots in the electronic, punk, and experimental scenes that rose up in the shadows of the Live Music Capital of the World, Stein and Dixon went from playing in the preeminent live synth act S U R V I V E to crafting timeless themes for the sci-fi series Stranger Things. Now maintaining respective studios in Los Angeles and Austin, they refuse to sit still, applying their relentless creativity to new scores, sounds, and records.
