Hi, I'm Samuel Arkell. I'm a London-based musician and composer with hands-on experience in film scoring, sound design, and post-production. I blend formal training in music from the University of Manchester with practical experience composing for short films, bringing creative sensitivity and technical fluency across DAWs and production workflows. I am deeply inspired by narrative-driven composition and aim to contribute to projects that merge cinematic storytelling with emotional musical depth.
