About

Hi, I’m Ekaterina Karagodina—a film composer, pianist, and music producer based in Bangkok. Since 2019, I’ve been creating original scores for films, animation, documentaries, immersive fulldome productions, and commercial media, with a focus on music-to-picture storytelling and emotionally precise synchronization.

I’m the founder of Karagodina Studio, and I work end-to-end: from creative development and thematic composition to orchestration, orchestral/hybrid mockups, and coordinating music production workflows with specialist audio teams when needed. I enjoy collaborating closely with directors and producers to deliver music that fully supports the audience’s journey—whether it’s for planetarium screens or narrative short films.
