Hi, I’m Liz Luceris. I’m a composer for film & media and an educator, blending cinematic storytelling with musical craft. I earned a Master of Music in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music, and I hold Bachelor degrees in Music from the University of Victoria and in Music and Linguistics from the University of Alberta. My work spans solo scores, orchestral sessions, and hybrid workflows that fuse live musicians with sample libraries.

I release multi-genre works—Scenes from an Invisible Film, Hommage à Byron EP, and more—and I mentor students in orchestration, DAW fluency, and live-session preparation. Current projects include Ragged Teddy Bear’s Funeral and the film-ready scores that explore healing, resilience, and poetic storytelling.…

    Liz Luceris - The Last Battle (Live at AIR Studios)

    🎻 The Last Battle (Live at AIR Studios)
    Conducted by Liz Luceris (AKA. Liz Huang).
    Mixed & mastered by Joël Dollié.

    Recorded by Jake Jackson at AIR Studios, London

    A cinematic work from the upcoming EP Scenes from an Invisible Film.
    This recording was made during Liz Luceris’s graduate sessions at AIR — with a full orchestra, live-to-picture, and a heart full of battle scars.

    Behind the scenes:
    One take. One shot. One malfunctioning body.
    No food, no hydration, no problem.
    (Okay maybe some problem. But I was too busy being starstruck.)
