Chris Tantchev Music and Composition
Original music for film, screen and storytelling.
From cinematic scores to contemporary production, I create music built around emotion, atmosphere and the story it needs to tell.
About me
I started playing and writing music in my teens, performing in bands and developing my craft across guitar, drums, songwriting and production. Over the years, music has remained a constant creative outlet.
More recently, I’ve turned my focus towards composing for film and visual storytelling.
In 2024, I composed my first original film score for Dear Abu, bringing together live instrumentation, contemporary production and cinematic textures to help shape the emotion and identity of the film.
Today, I write and produce from my home studio in Sydney, creating music across cinematic, ambient, alternative and contemporary styles.
I’m particularly interested in collaborating with filmmakers and creators who want music that feels distinctive, human and genuinely connected to their story.
