Hew Wagner

I am a Melbourne based media composer who writes orchestral music for games, short films and music libraries, as well as creating orchestral mock-ups for other composers. My ambition is to also write for feature films and tv. I have a Bachelor of Music Performance with Honours from the Elder Conservatorium of Music and have studied composition and orchestration. My music is influenced by classical and modern composers, including film and game composers, as well as by my work as an opera singer.

Recent credits include:
