COMPOSER FOR FILM / TV / COMMERCIAL MEDIA

Stefan French is an Irish composer providing original music for film, television,
and commercial media.
Based in Dublin, his passion lies in getting to the heart of a story, and collaborating with the film making team to support and enhance their vision through music. Whether it be for a feature film, or a 30 second commercial, the conversation always comes back to -
"How would we like the viewer to think, or feel?"
Classically trained from an early age, and branching into music technology shortly after, he is equally at home writing synth based scores as he is conducting an orchestra on a scoring stage. For him, every project presents a unique challenge, and an opportunity to create a distinctive and engaging, emotional voice that helps to immerse the audience within the world of the story. With almost 15 years experience in the film industry, he has developed a keen sense for drama and the narrative arc, and for the specific logistical and technical demands that come with marrying music to picture.
WHAT CLIENTS HAVE SAID
"We were in the middle of a time sensitive project, and Stefan's ability to deliver the exact emotional context we were looking for in his score exceeded our expectations. His professionalism, and attitude, under pressure made him a pleasure to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
Thank you for the beautiful music that brought our images to life."
Richard Mortillaro,
Director (Directors Guild of America)
"Stefan French came on board at the script stage. After his first read, he wrote two pieces of music which formed the basis for the entire score - this was before he’d seen a frame of footage. Because he writes to story, and not just to picture, there’s a real sense of having a collaborator on board - pushing the narrative. He’s a pleasure to work with, and very calm under pressure!"
Ian Power,
Director of The Guarantee, and The Tattoo
"We did a google search for composers and found Stefan. With the digital age, time and distance is not important - especially when
you find someone who can create music like Stefan can. I highly recommend you give Stefan a chance composing music for your next
film or video. He can really take your project
to the next level."
