Biography

Gavin Keese is a film and game composer with over 15 years of experience crafting original scores that blend cinematic storytelling with a wide range of musical influences. His scores have woven together Chinese flutes with sweeping orchestral strings, paired Irish bagpipes with Arabian oud, and submerged instruments in water to create eerie, atmospheric soundscapes. 

He composed both score and songs for the gypsy jazz musical Sing For Your Supper, and he employed the haunting sounds of the Cambodian tro and sralai for the drama In the Life of Music. As a classically-trained composer with a passion for electronic and world music, he is able to develop a unique sonic identity for each project. 

Gavin has worked with some of the industry’s busiest scoring teams, contributing music to over 150 episodes of major series, including The Walking Dead, Blindspot, Agents of SHIELD, Outlander, and Riverdale, as well the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. 

An avid traveler, Gavin designed a mobile composing setup that enables him to create and collaborate from anywhere. While based in Los Angeles, he has composed professionally from Poland, Guatemala, and Argentina, and he works smoothly with teams across time zones. 

When not composing, he enjoys learning languages, dancing Brazilian Zouk, and expanding his collection of strange musical instruments.
