Film & Television Composer

“With her sharp ability to support and navigate the space between story and scares, Church consistently finds the light amongst shadows through rich themes, emotionally conscious orchestration, and respect for space and silence. She’s also not afraid to get creepy and experiment with sounds and techniques that quickly raise goosebumps and send shivers down spines.”
