Film Composer Tree Adams Provides Music For Stunt Awards

In addition to dramatic action-packed musical cues to accompany the winners to the stage, Tree Adams will incorporate a 30-piece orchestra into the live telecast in his duties as musical director, including original music for a Cirque du Soleil performance created exclusively for the awards under the direction of choreographer Jacques Heim.

"To increase the dynamics of the musical performances, I've incorporated Taiko drums, music samplers and electronic elements into the live broadcast," Adams says.

Movies such as KILL BILL II, TROY, THE AVIATOR, SPIDERMAN II, BOURNE SUPREMACY and COLLATERAL headline the list of films nominated for their stuntwork. The Rock's cousin and stunt double in WALKING TALL, Tanoai Reed, a double award-winner last year, is nominated in the category "Best High Work." Other categories include "Best Work with a Vehicle," "Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Woman," "Best Overall Stunt by a Stunt Man," "Best Specialty Stunt" and "Best Stunt Coordinator and/or 2nd Unit Director."

The gifted songwriter/composer's music is heard in theatrical projects including BAADASSSSS!, KILLER DILLER, DROWNING MONA, CASPER, and Paul Schrader's AUTO FOCUS. In television, Adams' scoring credits include the WB sitcom REBA! and the upcoming CBS film BTK KILLER. He has also contributed songs to FELICITY, THE GUARDIAN, MTV's ROAD RULES, A&E's BIOGRAPHY, And THAT'S LIFE.
