Christopher Tyng (born Brooklyn New York USA 25 April 1955) is an American composer. He composed the music for several television series including Futurama, The O.C., The Job , The Baby-Sitters Club and Rescue Me.
As was noted in the audio commentary of the Futurama episode The Problem With Popplers, Tyng is first and foremost a drummer; indeed, he accredits his composing proficiency to the awkwardness of lugging a drum set. As a convenience to him, his band mates would often bring their instruments to his house for practice. Christopher, then, had access to many more instruments, which he then learned to play.
