Award winning film composer and multi-instrumentalist, Justin Melland primarily works in the demanding world of film and television, creating refreshingly inventive scores at his studio The Eleventh Laboratory, in Los Angeles, California. Justin is a classically trained composer, conductor and a soloist on Piano, Bass Saxophone, Contrabass Clarinet, and Guitarviol. He is also a cutting edge synthesist that creates all of the electronic textures in his scores from scratch.  Of his work on Netflix's POISONED, Rolling Stone says : "It benefits from an appropriately pensive but dramatic score, composed by Justin Melland,"  The Washington Post called out his score for THE KILL TEAM by Oscar nominated Director Dan Krauss as "A brilliantly spare and evocative soundtrack". The Hollywood Reporter also wrote of his score for Showtime's DARK NET "And the antiseptic visuals, coupled with the droning score by Justin Melland, suggest Laura Poitras' Edward Snowden doc Citizenfour with a slightly pulpier edge."  The UK Film Review writes of Justin's score for MOSQUITO: "The cherry on top of this intuitive approach to visual storytelling is the transcendent score that blends the diegetic with the fabricated."  In 2022, Justin was nominated for A Sophia Award, the highest honor for the Portuguese dramatic arts, in the category Best Original Score for his work on the narrative feature film MOSQUITO.
