Gritty Music Composer/Producer

Coltrin Compositions on SoundBetter

I specialize in dark and gritty instrumental music, whether it be evil ambient soundscapes or orchestral/synthetic music with an edge. I’ve composed and produced more than 15 albums and soundtracks for fictional worlds of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.

Berklee-trained and driven by a passion for all things profoundly grim, I specialize in crafting musical sensations of creeping dread and unrelenting tension. My compositions are designed for projects that delve into the shadows, whether it’s the cold vacuum of space in the far future, or the blood-soaked rituals of a world on the brink of madness. My work isn’t just music; it’s an experience that invites the audience into the void of the unknown.

In the worlds of grimdark sci-fi, my work explores the nihilistic future of a universe indifferent to human suffering, where technology and dread intertwine in a symphony of despair. Here, I immerse the audience in a world where the horrors of the unknown are matched only by the horrors of what we’ve become.

Venturing into eldritch terror, my work delves into the abyss of that which should not be known, where ancient, malevolent forces lie in wait, beyond the grasp of human understanding. I lure audiences into stories where sanity frays and the familiar twists into the incomprehensible.

My music doesn’t simply underscore the terror; it becomes the terror. As the tension mounts, so does the anticipation, culminating in climactic explosions of rhythm and grit that leave no room for escape. My compositions don’t just support your narrative—they command it.
