Scoring Stories

I'm Jonathan Carlisle, a composer specializing in music for film, television, and video games. From sweeping orchestral scores to intimate piano melodies and hybrid soundscapes, I write across a wide range of genres and styles, always crafting music around the emotional heart of every story.

My voice is rooted in the Neo-Romantic tradition, blending expressive orchestration with contemporary production techniques to create cinematic scores that enhance narrative, deepen emotion, and leave a lasting impression. I believe the best scores don't simply support the narrative, they shape how it's remembered.
