Tan Yan Wei

Tan Yan Wei (28 January 1975 – 27 April 2011), or simply known as Yuan, was a Malaysian composer. He is known for his film scores for the films Puteri Gunung Ledang (2004), the 2005 Burmese film Kyan Sit Min, the Malaysian 3D English-language animated film SeeFood (also released as Sea Level in the United States), and the Malaysian action drama film Bunohan (2011). Tan worked through the production company Imaginex Studios on several of his later projects, including SeeFood, for which he was composing the score at the time of his death in April 2011; the remaining work was completed by Imaginex Studios, and the film’s soundtrack was ultimately released in October 2011, several months after he died. Sources differ on the precise nature of Tan’s contribution to Puteri Gunung Ledang. Some contemporary listings credit the film’s score jointly to Tan and singer-actor M. Nasir (who also starred in the film), while other accounts describe the score as the work of composer Daniel Yu Wai Kwok, with Tan serving as orchestrator.
