Composer Joseph Trapanese is known for building distinct musical worlds through intentional design, bridging organic instrumentation and modern electronics across film, television, and interactive media. His work emphasizes score as a primary storytelling engine, giving voice to a character’s inner life and balancing intimate human vulnerability with sweeping scale across projects like Whalefall, Arctic, and No One Will Save You.

His work includes landmark collaborations with Daft Punk (Tron: Legacy), Anthony Gonzalez of M83 (Oblivion), and Mike Shinoda (The Raid), alongside co-writing the score and producing songs for The Greatest Showman and crafting a thoughtful dramatic counterpoint to N.W.A. in Straight Outta Compton. As a producer, arranger, and conductor, he has collaborated with artists ranging from Dr. Dre and Zedd to HAIM and Kelly Clarkson, created original music for NASA, arranged for the Super Bowl National Anthem, and led premier ensembles including the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, and AUKSO Poland.
