I’m Alex Symcox, a British-born composer creating original music for film from my studio in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

My scores have premiered at festivals including Venice, Tribeca, BFI London, New Orleans, Big Sky, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, and many more, with several distributed on PBS the shorts program of HBO Max, Apple TV, Tubi.

I built Creatures of Sound — a studio in the forest where I work closely with directors, editors, and producers. It’s a quiet retreat to experiment and refine story and sound, only a short trip from New York City but free of its distractions.

While my main focus is scoring, my studio is fully equipped for sound design, dialogue editing, and mixing up to 5.1. During my years based in New York City, I worked with Brooklyn-based studios on national ad campaigns and top podcasts (Lead Sound Designer for Dipsea Stories), bringing broadcast polish to a wide range of projects.

I approach each project as a search for new sounds — leaning into the unknown to discover a musical language that feels unexpectedly connected and deeply true to the story. 

My latest project feature project, Face of The Earth is headed to festivals and streaming in 2026.
