Original scores for independent film, television and games. Cinematic orchestral writing, intimate drama and atmospheric textures, shaped around your story. Based in Thousand Oaks, serving Los Angeles and collaborating remotely worldwide.
I'm Devon Foster, a film and game composer based in Thousand Oaks, California. I write original music for independent films, television, commercials and games, with an emphasis on emotion, atmosphere and the story's point of view.
My music spans cinematic, drama, orchestral, soundtrack, chill, synth, contemporary and rock. Composition is the focus of my work; dialogue editing, sound design and re-recording mixing are available as complementary services.
I graduated from the Los Angeles Film School in Audio Production and studied under film composer Timothy Williams. Selected work includes the Home feature-film B2B trailer, Povison commercials airing on Hulu, and Receptiv advertisements.
“…versatility in composing dynamic and emotionally impactful music.”
“Devon’s contributions … highlighted an ability to integrate music with visual storytelling. His work also displayed strong skills in handling feedback, revisions, and collaborating with peers—key assets in the industry.”
— Timothy Williams · Composer

Interview with Devon Foster
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Share the script or synopsis, current cut if available, picture-lock status, frame rate and timecode, musical references, approximate minutes of music, budget and deadline. Include the emotional goals of the scenes and any recorded instruments you have in mind.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: You can reach out during development, before picture lock. Composition is approximately $150 per minute of finished music, rather than per minute of film. For example, 30 minutes of original music is approximately $4,500. Recorded instruments require additional budget; your project scope is confirmed in a quote. One revision per scene is included for music and post sound. Each additional revision costs 75% of the total price for that scene.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I write original music for film and television, with music for video games available too. I am based in Thousand Oaks, serve Los Angeles and Southern California, and work remotely with clients worldwide.
