Hi—I'm Ethan Bailey. I'm a Media Composer & Audio Collaborator creating emotional, atmospheric, and hybrid cinematic scores, as well as jingles and short-form pieces. I combine my foundation in expressive guitar with intimate piano melodies to craft tension, dream-like soundscapes, and memorable melodic hooks that elevate storytelling. I typically work in FL Studio to deliver high-quality assets fast, tuned to a director's thematic vision. My work centers on building tension and atmosphere across ambient sci-fi, suspense, and hybrid orchestral-rock styles. I’ve developed a streamlined workflow to translate visuals and mood into musical cues, and I also play guitar as a dedicated independent musician. I hold a BA in English Literature and apply analytical narrative insights to deepen a director's script through music.
