Film Soundtracks Bio

Early Days/Majesty
Shortly after the release of the first OSI Dream Theater
album, Moore relocated to Istanbul, Turkey, Chroma Key
and composed the soundtrack to the horror
OSI
film, "Okul (The School)," which was

subsequently released as a solo record titled
Ghost Book in 2004. When the directors, the Guest Appearances
Taylan Brothers, were searching for a
musician to score their movie they learned
that Moore was in Istanbul. By coincidence,
the film was based on a book called "Hayalet
Kitap," which contains a reference to the
song, "Space Dye-Vest." The author, Dogu
Yucel, is also a self-proclaimed Dream
Theater and Kevin Moore fan.

In 2006, Moore once again teamed up with Turkish producers for another soundtrack project. The film,
"Küçük Kiyamet (The Little Apocalypse)," tells the tale of a Turkish family torn apart by an earthquake. It was
based on a short story written by the Taylan Brothers, Durul and Yağmur, with the script being written by
Yucel. The film earned critical acclaim from Turkish critics, many of whom listed it as one of the best of
2006. Moore's score, meanwhile, was nominated for a SIYAD Movie Award.

In 2007, Moore performed Chroma Key and OSI material for the first time at Balo Stage in Istanbul. "I
thought it would be good for the first show to be small and comfortable...and if something goes horribly wrong
it only happens in front of 100 people," Moore said in an interview at the concert with MTV Turkey. During
the interview, Moore revealed plans to produce the debut album of Turkish industrial rock band Makine. The
self-titled album was eventually released in early 2010.

In 2010, Moore announced a funding project through the website Kickstarter to manufacture and release the
soundtrack he created for "Küçük Kıyamet." If funding reached $3,000, the album, titled Shine, would be
released. Fans exceeded the $3,000 mark in less than 24 hours and surpassed $10,000 overall.
