Odysseas Liakos - Composer & Orchestrator I am a passionate London-based composer and orchestrator with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Music (Film Music) from Leeds Conservatoire. Originally from Greece, my deep-rooted love for orchestral and cinematic music has guided my journey from self-taught composer to working on major projects. My distinctive style combines emotional depth with technical precision, setting me apart in the world of film, TV, and video game scoring. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with renowned mentors like Nicholas Dodd and Gavin Greenaway, gaining hands-on experience in orchestration, conducting, and studio recording. I have composed for documentaries, animations, and short films, with notable achievements like winning the 1st Award for Orchestration and Composition in Greece and Cyprus and working with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for the UAE National Day concert. My experiences also include music preparation for projects at prestigious studios like Abbey Road and AIR Studios, which further honed my skills in music copyist roles. What differentiates me from other musicians is my ability to bring stories to life through orchestral compositions, with a unique blend of classical influences and modern cinematic techniques. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my expertise to meaningful, innovative projects. --- **Employment and project experience** **Music Librarian** – BBC Music Library _December 2023 - Present_ Oversee the supply of orchestral parts and scores for performances by the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
