Mort composed the music for the Grammy Award Winning "Best Children's Recording" THE LITTLE PRINCE narrated by Richard Burton. The entire score was created electronically on a Moog synthesizer at his Patch Chord studio in 1974. Mort attended the Julliard School of Music on a scholarship where he was a composition major. Mort was a pioneer in electronic music for film, TV and recordings. Mort has conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and The Los Angeles Philharmonic. He is the composer of over 300 published songs including the number one hit "Our Day Will Come" (recorded by Ruby and the Romantics, Frankie Valli and k.d.lang), "This Is My Beloved" (Arthur Prysock - gold record), and "Zodiac Cosmic Sounds" (Grammy nomination). Mort has arranged more than 20 film, TV, episodic and game show scores including the National geographic series "Untamed World" for NBC. Mort was the composer for "Marilyn - The Musical" at the Adelphi Theatre, London, and "Rouge et Noir", funded by the Kellogg Foundation and has just completed writing the musical score for the Buddy Kaye original stage play "GARBO……the Musical." His early electronic moog synthesizer albums: The Wozard of Iz (A&M '69), Lucifer-Black Mass (UA '71) and Signs of the Zodiac (A&M) are highly valued cult classics and earned Mort the distinguished title: "The Grand-daddy of Electronica."
