With a background in classical trumpet studies and music theory, he began composing film scores at the age of 14 and has pursued his passion since.

To craft his individual composing style, Frank blends orchestral elements & techniques with contemporary synthetic aspects.
As PHANTOM FUN WORLD is a horror movie, “the composer has fashioned some wonderfully original edgy musical moments within the score, but he also kind of plays with the listener providing the movie with vibrant and melodic passages that in effect lull the listener into a false sense of security,” writes film music journalist Jon Mansell in a detailed review of Bateman’s PHANTOM FUN WORLD score. “In many ways the score is quite a simple one, the composer establishing a sense of menace in four reoccurring notes that open the running and also return in other cues, the core theme oozes a virulent and menacing aura, and also has within it a definite nod to composers such as Ennio Morricone, John Carpenter, Marco Beltrami, Jerry Goldsmith, and Christopher Young, all of whom always managed to create music for horrors that had to them a melodic or romantic side.” See Mansell’s full review, here.
PHANTOM FUN-WORLD was released to theaters on 4th August 4th, 2023. The digital soundtrack is available now from Notefornote Records, here.
