Aaron Drake

Aaron Drake’s the kind of composer who doesn’t just settle for the usual film and TV gigs—though, yeah, he’s got those credits stacked up in LA. His work slips into all sorts of places: contemporary dance performances that practically vibrate, weirdly immersive sound installations, and even those trippy interactive media projects that blur the lines between audience and creator. The guy’s got a knack for weaving stories out of noise, silence, and everything in between. He’s obsessed (like, truly) with meta-narratives—stories about stories—and the way music can twist around social connections, almost like it’s eavesdropping on the energy between people. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find all sorts of wild inspirations under his hood: aural mnemonics that jab at your memory, ghostly EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) whispers, layers of sound that mask and reveal like secret codes, and historical trends that sneak into his melodies. He’s the type to get caught up in the way people relate, fight, love, and remember, and then he’ll flip that into a score brimming with hidden messages and subtle winks. Basically, Drake’s music isn’t just background noise—it’s the connective tissue, the subtext, and sometimes, the punchline. The dude’s always chasing the next sonic puzzle, and honestly? He makes it sound effortless, even when he’s up to his ears in ciphers and cultural inside jokes.
