BIOGRAPHY
Award-winning Thai film composer S. Peace Nistades (Sornsanti Nivasanont) started his musical career as a concert pianist performing in Thailand and South-east Asia before turning to film music. He has collaborated with such artists as Lisbeth Scott (The Passion of the Christ, Munich), Karen Han (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Kung Fu Panda, The Hurt Locker), Gingger Shankar (Charlie Wilson’s War) and Grammy Award-winning artist Darlene Koldenhoven (Yanni: Live at the Acropolis).
His versatile body of work range from the dark and haunting score for the psychological thriller DARK WOODS (starring James Russo) to the quirky, jazzy score for PHIL COBB’S DINNER FOR FOUR. Jenna Milly’s short comedy A PEACOCK-FEATHERED BLUE premiered at numerous film festivals and was recently aired on PBS. His music has been called ‘a tour de force, invigorating’ (Steven Cerritos, director) ‘perfect’ (Dark Woods review) and ‘enlivens every scene with a brilliant blend of tension and closer’ (Bryan Felber, director).
In 2008, he scored the official trailer of BØRRE, a Norwegian psychological thriller, which has since gone on to receive major attention from distribution companies throughout Europe, Canada and Australia being featured in a premiere Norwegian film magazine and is currently in post-production. He collaborated with composer Tony Riparetti on the film ROAD TO HELL, the sequel to the 1984 cult hit STREETS OF FIRE, directed by Albert Pyun (The Sword and the Sorcerer, Infection).
Alongside film work, Peace also works on albums as composer, performer and arranger. His memorial piece for HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana of Thailand, IN MEMORIAM, was invited to be one of the nine pieces featured in the PRAKOMPLENG PRALENG TAWAI Memorial CD Project. He was also asked to work on the single KAM SARB by the Thai rock band ZEAL, which went on to become a top hit in Thailand. His music has appeared both in films and albums, many of which have aired in Thailand.
Based out of their music production facility, Alkaloide Music, in Los Angeles, CA , Peace and his team have worked on projects in almost a dozen countries worldwide. They are equally at home with both scores and songs, collaborating with numerous bands on original songs for several his film projects. His team includes Grammy Award-nominated producer and engineer Ken Goerres, award-winning mastering engineer Mitch Zelezny (Paul Haslinger, Graeme Revell) along with a plethora of talented musicians from various backgrounds.
