Hi — I’m Samuel Jones, a Glendale, CA-based composer with 15 years of experience scoring for high-profile serialized television, feature films, and video games. I’ve built a track record on over 80 projects, and I also produce, record, and mix albums and singles across jazz, classical, electronic, and indie-rock. Most recently I served as lead composer on a AAA game for an independent developer, and I earned USC’s Scoring For Motion Pictures & Television certificate in 2010. I collaborate across eclectic genres and formats, from intimate acoustic ensembles to full orchestral and hybrid electronic scores. I’m comfortable writing for live instrumentalists around the world, as well as integrating ethnic/world instruments and game middleware like Wwise. I enjoy meeting tight deadlines in collaborative environments and bringing strong production, recording, and mixing skills to every project. More at _Website not available.
