Pat Irwin most recently completed the score for HBO’s “Bored To Death.” Â He also just finished the score for “Pervertigo” which was selected for the 2011 edition of the IFP Narrative Independent Filmmaker Lab.
Pat has composed the scores for many independent films including, ”But I’m A Cheerleader,” “My New Gun,” and “Bam Bam And Celeste.” He has also written music for cartoons such as “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” “Pepper Ann,” and “Class of 3000.” He was awarded a 2011 ASCAP Film & Television Award for his contributions to the “SpongeBob” soundtrack.
He was a founding member of the “Raybeats” as well as “Eight Eyed Spy” and later joined “the B-52s” from 1989 – 2008. He has a new band in the works called “Command V” with recordings to be released on Mush Records.
I’ve just completed the score for “Stags,” an independent feature written and directed by Jamie Greenberg and produced by Ben Barenholtz (Requiem For A Dream, Miller’s Crossing, Barton Fink, etc.)

I’ve got some new recordings that I did with Marco Benevento, Marc Friedman and Kevin Norton. “Greenpoint” is Marco’s tune. I love the combination of improvised electronics and live playing. When we started it we didn’t really know what it was or what it was going to be. “The Show And The Road” was something that we recorded over a vintage Maestro drum machine from the ’60′s. It’s been a while since I recorded music that wasn’t written specifically for a cartoon or a movie.
