No, he did not. You can often hear that "Requiem for a dream" soundtrack is in fact "Summer Overture" written by Mozart but in fact there is no such Mozart's composition like "Summer Overture." Soundtrack for "Requiem for a dream" was composed by Clint Mansell. And no, it also is NOT remix of any Richard Wagner piece.
