Antonio Cristiano on SoundBetter

Original music for film and games, blending intimate cinematic writing with modern electronic sound.

I compose music for film, games and visual media, combining intimate cinematic writing with a contemporary electronic approach. My focus is to support the story and the emotional arc of each scene with clarity, rhythm and precise timing to picture.

I deliver custom cues tailored to your project, including stems and alternative versions for editors and sound designers. Every track is provided as a clean, broadcast-ready mix with organized files and clear naming, so the music integrates smoothly into post-production and gameplay.

My style moves between delicate piano-driven atmospheres and modern electronic textures, allowing me to work on emotional dramas, dystopian and sci-fi tones, and hybrid cinematic projects while keeping a coherent voice. I adapt to the needs of the project and I’m comfortable working with any musical palette or library required, from orchestral to electronic and sound-design based scores.

I work primarily in Cubase, with full compatibility in Logic, using professional virtual instruments and libraries such as Spitfire, 8Dio, Cinesamples, Arturia, Native Instruments and many others.

Workflow is simple and practical: defined milestones, fast revisions and direct communication throughout the process. Send me a brief, a script or a rough cut and I’ll prepare a short sketch so you can hear the direction before we move forward.
