Co-Composer Robert Williamson got his start in music playing bass in various bands in Seattle in the mid 90’s sharing bills with bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden. He became infatuated with electronic music and started Eat Knowledge recordings. In 2000 Robert wrote the script for the movie DANDELION and as the movie reached final stages of editing he decided to score it as well. The film debuted at Sundance in 2004. He went on to score the film THE YOUTH IN US, a series for MTV, contributed songs to UNDERWORLD EVOLUTION, wrote original music for a documentary about Hurricane Katrina with director and R.E.M front man Michael Stipe, and contributed additional score for the film CRANK.

Johannes Kobilke began playing and improvising piano at the age of six. During his teenage years he began writing original compositions and working in electronic music production. Johannes also performed as keyboard and piano player in several bands and as singer in a classical choir. He studied film music and sound design at Filmacademy Ludwigsburg/Germany. Since completing his studies in 1999, Johannes has composed the music for more than 25 television movies in Germany and for commercials and industrials for companies like BMW, Lexus, Lamborghini, Siemens, Burger King, AUDI, and VW. PATHOLOGY is the first Hollywood film Johannes has composed.

MGM presents PATHOLOGY, in theaters on April 18.
