John Andrew Grush andTaylor Newton Stewart, known collectively asthe Newton Brothers, are American composers, record producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Their works include scores for several films with directorMike Flanagan, having composed for every project of his sinceOculus (2013), as well as various other films and television series. Despite the name, they are not related.[1]
Early on in their lives, both Grush and Stewart were inspired to combine music and visuals and seek a career in film composition. They are both accomplished musicians and multi-instrumentalists who can play piano, guitar, bass, clarinet, flute, accordion, saxophone, harmonica, percussion, organ, kazoo and cello. Together they apprenticed underHans Zimmer and co-scored the Mike Flanagan thrillerBefore I Wake withDanny Elfman.[2]
The Newton Brothers have been scoring feature films together for over a decade, breaking into the mainstream with their work onTony Kaye's filmDetachment.[3] In 2013 they began their work in horror films with Mike Flanaghan and Blumhouse Productions includingOculus, whichThe Irish Times said, "Andy and Taylor Newton's dynamic combination of simple melodic fragments, aleatory noise (broken glass, metal scrapes) and a solemn choir gradually inject the seriously spooky Oculus with nerve-shredding suspense and skin-crawling dread,"[4] andOuija: Origin of Evil.[5] They have since gone on to score multiple horror genre projects for film and television.
