IBiography - psychological horror composer
Zazie Kanwar-Torge writes and performs original scores for psychological horror, folk horror, body horror, supernatural thrillers, cosmic horror, techno thrillers, and dark science fiction, across short films, features, series episodes, games, and trailers. Under Zazie Productions, he has scored projects from student shorts to features, with a palette that combines struck strings, bowed metal, hybrid orchestration, and custom synths, shaped to picture rather than pulled from a library.
His work is defined by psychological architecture: slow-burn beds, dissociative harmony, and tension shaped to the cut. Dark atmospheric color: hybrid orchestration, sub-frequency weight, and frozen ambient space. And cinematic themes: motifs designed to carry through the film, trailer, and festival cut.
Base: Asheville, NC. Remote by default, scoring across several continents via video call spotting sessions, with travel available for scoring stage, dub stage, or session. Contact: [email protected] · scoring inquiry form · Reply target within 48 hours.
