Compelling melodies with maximum emotional impact: As a composer for visual media, Christopher Marshall creates across a broad sonic and emotional spectrum. From minimal piano melodies to high-octane intensity and thunderous grandeur, his themes illuminate a vast range of dramatic possibilities.
A lifelong musician with a classical piano background, Christopher is now composing and producing a broad repertoire of trailer and production music, having learned trailer composition through the UK-based Protégé School.
Christopher is a self-avowed movie music geek who grew up on a range of influences encompassing heavy melodic metal and music with powerful vocal harmonies, to Beethoven symphonies and the scores of John Williams. He earned his Bachelor of business administration in the Music Business program at Belmont University in Nashville.
Living in the mountains of Colorado affords Christopher access to stunning panoramas that he captures in vibrant photos. These portraits of nature’s architecture might be seen as a mirror of his compositions, revealing his eye for color, contrast, and gauging the golden hour for the perfect visual crescendo with maximum dramatic impact.
