About

I’m a composer, sound designer and audio editor working across film, audio drama, podcasts and games. My work ranges from scoring award-winning short films to creating themes and transitions for top-rated audio dramas, alongside podcast editing and other audio projects.

Based in Ramsgate, Kent, I work from my home studio using a combination of live instrumentation, sample libraries and VST plugins. I enjoy working across different genres, employing musicianship, experimentation and technical expertise to create original music tailored to each project. All of my work is crafted by hand, without the use of any generative AI tools.

I hold an MA in Music Composition and a BA in Creative Music Technology from Canterbury Christ Church University, where I’m currently undertaking a PhD. My work has received support and commissions from Sound and Music, Contemporary Music for All, and the Royal Philharmonic Society.

Award winning found footage film, Dir. by Alan Leonardo (2026).
In 1994, two students claimed to have cracked time itself. The footage was expunged after a terrorist attack. Until now.

This project required a mixture industrial, electronic, drone, and experimental music to fit the gritty feeling of the film.

A podcast by Seth Borkowski in collaboration with The Daily Drunk Mag, chock full of humourously recounted stories, conspiracy theories, and good ol’ fashioned rants—mostly about aliens. My contributions to the podcast include: music, sound design, editing, occasional and appropriately bad voice acting. https://www.twine.net/signin
