Louis Febre

Musical artist

Louis Febre (born June 21, 1959) is a Mexican born composer, best known for his work on the television series Smallville. He won an Emmy Award for his score on the television series The Cape in 1997.

Life

Born in the city of Saltillo, Mexico, Louis Febre composed his first works for the piano at age 8 while studying piano at a private academy in Northern Mexico. In 1973, his family moved to Los Angeles where he continued his study of the piano under the tutelage of Robert Turner and Francoise Regnat.

Louis went on to formal composition study with Lorraine Kimball and Frank Campo. During this period, he wrote several chamber works and other large form compositions.

Career

In 1992, Febre was employed by the notorious B-movie company PM Entertainment, where he discovered his true compositional passion: film scoring. In 1996, he met his mentor John Debney, a partnership that would produce successful collaborative efforts such as the movie Doctor Who in 1996 and led to Louis’ first television series The Cape which would earn him an Emmy in 1997 for Best Dramatic Underscore.

Febre has enjoyed success with the movies Swimfan (2000), Tower of Terror (Disney) and a set of Scooby-Doo straight-to-video movies in 2001. He earned an Annie Award nomination for his score for Scooby-Do and the Alien Invaders. That same year, he won a Pixie Award for the independent short film: Revenge of the Red Balloon. According to some critics, his score for Alien Trespass transcended the tepid reviews of the film itself. Variety compared his score to the classic sci-fi scores of noted composer Bernard Herrmann.

In 2001, he could be found collaborating with Steve Jablonsky on the first season of the hit television series Desperate Housewives. As an additional orchestrator, he worked again with John Debney on Cats & Dogs, Jimmy Neutron, the Disney film Chicken Little, Disneyworld Tokyo, and with Mark Snow on The X-Files movie (1998).

Smallville

Febre is probably best known for his work on the hit television series Smallville, which is in its 10th and final season. With the departure of Mark Snow from Smallville, Febre became the credited composer in season seven. As the main character matured, so did the music. "As Clark grew emotionally and intellectually more complex, found a need to comment musically on his growth, and as he drew closer to his Superman persona, it became obvious that a 'Superman' theme would be required."

In 2011, his Smallville Season 8: End Credits Theme was included in The Music of DC Comics: 75th Anniversary Collection.

A unique and devoted subculture has sprung up around Smallville, affording Febre a bit of notoriety among the comic book crowd. He is a featured personality on fan sites where he blogs about his process for composing for the show, and grants interviews to other fan sites devoted to the show. Several fan magazines, such as Durance Magazine have published interviews with Febre on the subject of score composition for Smallville.
