Michael Johnson on SoundBetter

Award-winning composer for film, games, and theater specializing in expressive orchestral storytelling. I create cinematic scores that bring emotion, atmosphere, craftsmanship, and memorable melodies to visual and stage productions. I also write and orchestrate songs, complete with lyrics.

I’m a composer and songwriter specializing in cinematic music for film, games, and theater. My work blends masterful orchestral composition with melodic, emotionally-driven songwriting; from intimate piano and string cues to sweeping fantasy scores. Drawing inspiration from composers like Desplat, Delibes, and the flowing, impressionistic orchestration of Delius, I craft music that tells a story, evokes emotion, and lingers in the listener’s memory.

Services include:

- Original music for feature films and short films
- Songwriting, including lyrics and orchestration
- Game music and looping cues
- Theater and stage productions
- Advertising and branded music
- Orchestral arrangements and mockups

Combining classical technique with modern production tools, I deliver polished, production-ready music that enhances your story and connects with your audience. I value clear communication, collaboration, and understanding each project’s vision. If you’re looking for cinematic music that is memorable, expressive, and tailored to your story, I’d love to hear about your project and bring it to life.
