Danny Bensi is a contemporary film composer writing alongside Saunder Jurriaans in New York. Bensi first started playing music with Jurriaans in 2001 when they formed the unique instrumental rock band Priestbird which recorded four acclaimed albums and were invited to tour internationally with many reputable bands such as Pearl Jam. 　　In 2010, they were approached to write their first feature movie score "Two Gates Of Sleep" premiering at the Cannes Film Festival. The film demanded a unique minimalist orchestral score and quickly garnered the attention of several directors. Soon after, they were asked to score the critically acclaimed feature "Martha Marcy May Marlene." 　　From Avant-Garde Classical music to sweeping epic orchestral scores, the composer duo then scored an array of award-winning films and documentaries including "Simon Killer," "The One I Love," and Denis Villeneuve's "Enemy" - winning Best Musical Score at the Canadian Screen Awards. 　　Each score they write has it's own unique character - laden with vitality and real instruments. Be it small string ensembles, unlikely percussion groups, or a group of clarinets, the duo love to explore innovative textures, demand stark performances, and interweave beautiful spine-chilling melodies.
