Karthik S

Film, Animation & Game Composer


Original soundtracks crafted for independent film, animation, and games. Based in Seattle Area and available for remote collaboration.

Selected works include original scores for independent short films and film scoring competitions.

About Me


I am a composer for film, animation and games based in Bothell, Washington, with a passion for using music to support story, character, and emotion.

My portfolio includes original scores for independent Tamil short films such as Kaleidoscope, participation in online and regional film scoring competitions like Closing Time and Grizzly Business, and supporting live theatre and concert productions as both a music editor and vocalist, end-credits music for The Whistleblower created under the tight deadlines of the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project.

To ensure my work carries a disciplined, professional foundation, I study film scoring, orchestration, and music theory under the mentorship of composer Stephen Berkemeier (tabletopcomposer). I am actively pursuing participation in local choral ensembles as part of my musicianship development. My long-term goal is to pursue advanced professional training through the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program.

I see film music as an essential part of storytelling. I work closely with directors to create scores that support the narrative, strengthen emotional connections, and help bring each scene to life.

Why Work With Me


  • Story First: I believe music works best when it serves the story, supports the characters, and strengthens the emotional arc.

  • Collaborative Process: I enjoy working closely with directors and creators to find the right musical voice for each project.

  • Film Scoring Experience: My portfolio includes original music for independent short films, scoring competitions, and narrative media projects.

  • Reliable Communication: I value clear communication, constructive feedback, and meeting agreed-upon deadlines.

  • Ongoing Development: I actively study film scoring, orchestration, and musicianship through mentorship, score study, and pursuing participation in local choral ensembles.

Collaboration


I enjoy working with filmmakers, animators, game developers, and storytellers who care deeply about their craft.

I'm currently open to collaborating on:

  • Short Films

  • Student Films

  • Independent Films

  • Animation Projects

  • Video Games

  • Podcasts and Documentaries

Whether you're working from a finished cut, a rough edit, or even an early script, I'm happy to discuss how music can help support your story.
