Background

About
Me

Krzysztof Kolator

Krzysztof Kolator — Composer

I am a composer of film and game music.

I create music rooted in emotion, narrative and image. My primary interests are scoring for film, narrative scenes and interactive game environments.

I work on developing my musical language through image analysis, cinematic scene studies and experiments in harmony and tonality — including modality, diminished scales and tonal colour.

Currently focused on building a portfolio based on real cinematic scenes and narrative projects.
