- Composer
- Music Department
Spencer Creaghan is a Multi-Socan Award winning Composer and an alumni of the Canadian Film Centre's Slaight Family Music Residency.
His myriad of credits span film, television, video games, and theme parks. Recent credits include the SYFY series SurrealEstate (Starring Sarah Levy, Tim Rozon) and Haya Waseem's debut feature film Quickening that premiered at TIFF 2021
Other credits include the hit series Teenagers and All For One; and the action thriller Black Water. His music has been heard at festivals, including the TIFF, Cannes' Short Film Corner, Sundance, and LA Webfest. And his series have aired on SYFY and CTV Sci-Fi, and streamed on Crave and NBC. His Soundtracks have been released through Milan Records.
Creaghan was a protégé and assistant to esteemed composer Lesley Barber, providing synth design, production, and additional music to Netflix's Late Night, Irreplacable You, and American Woman that premiered at Tribeca.
His primary musical goal is to dive into the narrative, identify its subtextual layers, and personify them as a living breathing characters within the story. Each score, a new discovery in how music can unlock this existential weight. Applying traditional practices and experimental evolutions of music, Creaghan merges classical orchestration, contemporary electronic pop & rock elements, ancient folk instruments, organic human voice textures, and non-musical real world technologies to propel the audience into a unique musical world mirroring the artistic visions of the diverse filmmakers he collaborates with.
Outside the film world, Creaghan has created orchestral arrangements for many Symphonic Metal acts world wide - recently the Juno nominated album Martyr (ex-Cradle of Filth's Lindsay Schoolcraft, ex-Evanescence's Rocky Gray.) His work in video games includes the Ubisoft's Tom Clancy: Shadowbreak.
