He then studied composition at the Prague Conservatory before emigrating to Sweden in 1980 , where he spent a year studying electronic music at the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) in Stockholm. From there he went to the USA in 1987 to take part in the composition program of the University of Southern California . After graduating, he received offers from Sweden to write film music again, which is why he returned, but not before he wrote the score for the thriller Apartment Zero within 10 days .

After composing in Sweden for Flickan vid stenbänken , Rosenholm and Barnens Detektivbyrå , among others , he returned to the USA in 1993, where he had his greatest success to date with the action thriller Ronin , in which he replaced Jerry Goldsmith as composer. This was followed by other action, horror, mystery films and thrillers such as Wrong Turn , Species III , Pulse - You're Dead Before You Die and Piranha 2 .
