I'm Evgenia Leshchinskaia, a film composer, sound designer, and multi-instrumentalist based in San Francisco. I create cinematic, emotionally driven scores for film and visual media, blending classical training with hybrid electronic textures to serve storytelling. As The Meridiana, my solo project, I produce immersive, sci-fi–influenced soundscapes that fuse traditional instrumentation with modern synthesis, crafting sonic environments for short films, series, and multimedia projects. I specialize in music-to-picture synchronization and atmospheric sound design, combining a solid grounding in classical performance with contemporary production techniques to support narrative and mood. I work across collaboration formats—from freelance scoring to producing and performing—blurring the lines between orchestral color and electronic texture to create cinematic listening experiences.
