Film, Commercial & Game Music

Music as Story

I’m Ivan Smirnoff, a composer creating music for film, commercials, and games. From my studio, I work with a warm, hands-on approach, building music that follows story, shapes emotion, and gives each project its own character.

I treat film and game scoring as an art form, and I bring that same mindset into commercial work. Whether it’s a narrative scene or a short format piece, I approach it not as a task to fill, but as something that deserves intention, taste, and its own voice.

My background in post-production helps me think beyond music alone and how it sits with dialogue, space, and silence. Clients value that I’m reliable, flexible, and ready to adapt, while keeping a clear sense of direction and musical identity.

Along the way, my work has picked up a few awards, not a finish line, but a sign I’m moving in the right direction.
