I am Edward Therens Garcia, a multidisciplinary musician specializing in composition for media, performance, and audio production. I have extensive experience on stage and in the studio as a session musician, performing in the US, Switzerland, and the UK. I thrive on creative collaboration and bring reliability, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic to every project.
My skills span media composition across orchestral and trailer music, songwriting, arranging, audio mixing and recording, and music production. I also run small- to mid-sized band workshops in pop, rock, and funk, and I enjoy mentoring fellow musicians to grow their craft.
