A-list composer Danny Elfman has signed a world-exclusive publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group, Music Week reported today. According to the site, the agreement takes in all the publishing interests Elfman has retained in film and television scores, as well the entire cataklogue of Oingo Boingo, the cult rock band Elfman ran before he became a full-time film composer.

Danny Elfman, who is represented by Kraft-Engel Management, is one of the busiest and most popular composers of film music. He started out in the mid-80s breaking out side by side with director Tim Burton, scoring Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman and Edward Scissorhands. His strikingly original scores – Elfman has an easily recognizable style of his own – include the two first Spider-Man movies, Good Will Hunting, Big Fish, Men in Black, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Wanted. His upcoming films include The Wolfman and Burton’s new fairytale, Alice in Wonderland.
