Nikolaos Laskaridis

I’m a musician who specialises in ambient horror, tension and psychological scoring from Berlin, Germany.
I’m Nik — a composer, sound designer, and double bassist creating music and audio for film, TV, games, animation, and brand sync. My signature sound is built on the double bass and its extended techniques used as a compositional and sound design source.
My most important skills: composition, sound design, audio editing, audio synchronisation, sync-ready cue production, and stem/metadata delivery.
What differentiates me: most composers in this space rely entirely on samples and synths. I bring a real instrument with a deep extended-technique vocabulary, then integrate it with modern synthesis and processing. The result is a sound that doesn’t sit cleanly inside any one library.
Sector experience: Sync licensing, animation scoring and sound design (currently composing for the series Realm Runners) and true crime aesthetics. My background also includes prior in-house roles at TikTok Germany and in music copyright and music business, so I understand the rights, metadata, and delivery side as well as the creative side. I hold two Masters degrees: Music Business Management and Jazz Performance (Double Bass).
I’m based in Berlin, work fluently in English, German and Greek and am open to remote scoring projects worldwide.
