Bio
Epic Cinematic Music
Compelling themes, maximum emotional impact
Christopher Marshall is a Colorado Springs composer of epic orchestral music, the trailer-scale style Spotify tags as epicore. Inspired by Harry Lightfoot, Jo Blankenburg, Mark Petrie, Thomas Bergersen and Hans Zimmer, he creates music across a broad sonic and emotional spectrum, and he is drawn above all to what the form does best: the long build, the emotional load a piece can carry, and the payoff of a final act. From minimal piano melodies to high-octane intensity and thunderous grandeur, his themes illuminate a vast range of dramatic possibilities.
He has been releasing albums independently since 2020. He has also written for production music libraries with trailers, games, film and TV in mind. Every note is human-made and original.
Away from the studio, Christopher is a photographer, drawn mostly to landscapes and wildlife. He lives in the Rocky Mountains, which keeps both close at hand.
"Music crosses language and connects us through emotions we all share, yet it means something different to each of us. I write for that second part: the story you bring to it."
