Hi! I'm Erik Nordgren, a composer and audio engineer based in Los Angeles. I've written scores for dozens of shorts, ads, branded content, and long form series. My approach to scoring is always storytelling-first, with music informed heavily by vision and process with the directors I work with. With a strong classical and jazz background, I bring a strong harmonic foundation to my work that's ready to be built and shaped by collaboration. My work in audio post includes mastering, sound design, and localization services for clients like HBO, Apple, Disney, and Warner Bros. I've also led audio teams on tight deadline projects like day-and-date dubbing for HBO, and even onto break a Guinness World Record for localization & dubbing. Most recently, I mastered and delivered the dubs for Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing.
