Available to hire
I am Aaron Solt, a composer, producer, and orchestrator based in Glendale, CA. I write and arrange music for film, media, and concert performances, and I work across orchestration, conducting, music prep, and audio post-production. I routinely use Cubase, Sibelius, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Wwise, and Unity to bring musical ideas to life and to deliver polished mockups and parts for recording sessions.
My work has earned multiple awards and commissions, and I collaborate with professional artists, ensembles, and institutions across festivals, universities, and concert venues. I’m passionate about storytelling through music and excited to continue creating expressive scores and innovative orchestrations.
