Evan Call

Explore folhas de piano de Evan Call no Zen Virtual Piano. Evan Call is a composer who grew up in Lincoln, Northern California. Occipital neuralgia was diagnosed in his teens, and he paused his schooling. In those months a local teacher taught him bluegrass guitar. His mother’s eclectic taste helped nurture an early affinity for folk music. Bluegrass guitar learned during a break from school, beside a mother’s eclectic taste, may hint at folk music being present in more than one part of Call’s early life. After graduating, Call enrolled at the Berklee College of Music and majored in film scoring. He has composed for anime, video games and television since moving to Japan in 2012, including NHK’s 2022 taiga drama “The 13 Lords of the Shogun.” Soon after arriving, he met composer Junpei Fujita, which led to his joining the music production team Elements Garden, and his first solo scoring job followed with 2014’s “Tokyo ESP.” If film scoring was Call’s Berklee major, then his work across anime, games and television may show screen scoring running through his career. Call was introduced to Yōta Tsuruoka, a sound director at Kyoto Animation, after his employment began. Alongside Tsuruoka, Call began composing the soundtracks for the anime series Tokyo ESP and Violet Evergarden. Call says a producer told him to focus more on melody, not atmosphere, and that one song, “World On Fire,” into which he put a big effort to create a catchy melody, shifted how he works on music in Japan. He also asks why a melody goes up, goes somewhere, then goes down and back up, and says that if there is no meaning in it, he thinks it is not good enough. A producer’s advice on melody, beside Call’s own question about meaning in a melody, may suggest melody is a recurring concern in how he works. Call’s style is primarily orchestral and often brings classical instrumentation and scoring together with European folk elements. On Frieren, the sonic language of the whole show was Call’s to set from the start. Sweeping orchestral writing and stripped-back folk instrumentation alternate in the score, at times inside one cue. Folk instrumentation in the Frieren score, beside bluegrass guitar in his teens, may point to folk music appearing at both ends of Call’s story. The Japan Times calls Violet Evergarden, My Happy Marriage and Frieren his most recognizable scores and says they create space for reflection alongside the action. Call’s 2025 included a win in the Sound/Performance category at the Tokyo Anime Award. His work on Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End also earned a Best Score nomination at the 9th Crunchyroll Anime Awards. Violet Evergarden is both one of the soundtracks Call began composing alongside Tsuruoka and one of the scores The Japan Times calls his most recognizable.
