Morton Wilson

Composer, Sound

Morton Wilson began composing for film while playing in band Schtung. Hagen and fellow band member Andrew Hagen went on to provide music for a quartet of Kiwi movies, including The Scarecrow and Kingpin. In 1981 they moved to Hong Kong and got even busier, composing commercials. Wilson went on to oversee Schtung sound studios in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, while Hagen launched Schtung in Hollywood.

The industry is changing but ultimately it comes back to the writing, the tunes — whether it’s for a movie, a commercial or a single. If in doubt, just pick up your instrument (unless you’re a pianist, of course) and see what happens! Morton Wilson
