Formerly of Alternative Rock jokesters Pop Will Eat Itself, Clint Mansell is a composer who is mainly known for his work in film soundtracks. And what soundtracks they are...

- Requiem for a Dream
- Moon
- The Fountain
- Smokin Aces
- Definitely Maybe

- The Iron Lady (rejected and replaced by Thomas Newman)
Clint Mansell provides examples of the following tropes:

- Also, the first measure of the Amen Break meets the golden ratio when visualized.
