Hi, I'm Kristiyan Kolev, a composer and sound designer for games and films. I create cinematic soundtracks and immersive audio experiences, with a focus on dark, ambient, horror, thriller, sci-fi, historical, and dreamy textures. With a strong foundation in classical music and jazz, I blend orchestration, sound design, and modern digital production (Cubase) to shape emotional sound worlds that support storytelling. I also lead live performances and collaborate on creative audio direction to elevate scenes.
