About

I’m Artem Kuzmenko, a composer and orchestrator creating original music for commercials, branded films, animation, film, and games.

With a professional background in symphonic and operatic conducting, orchestral performance and arranging, I bring a strong understanding of musical storytelling, harmony, orchestration, and dramatic structure to every project.

My work ranges from expressive orchestral scores and memorable melodic themes to contemporary hybrid, electronic, and atmospheric music. I focus on creating music that serves the story, supports the visuals, and gives each project its own musical identity.

I offer original composition, orchestration, scoring to picture, and professional music production, including final mixes, stems, and alternate versions when required.
