ALEXANDER GRIMES

Music has always been my way of life. I was raised in a rigorous conservatory environment, studying at both the New England Conservatory and Berklee College of Music. Today, I serve as Principal Violist of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra in Seattle.

​

My passion for film scoring grew naturally out of years spent recording for film, television, and video games as a session musician. I've had the privilege of contributing to scores for Outlander (Bear McCreary), Fargo (Jeff Russo), Destiny 2 (Michael Salvatori), Metal Gear Solid V, and Call of Duty (Harry Gregson-Williams), among many others.

​

As a composer, my goal is to write music that moves people—emotionally rich, cinematic works created in close collaboration with other artists and storytellers. I strive to contribute to projects that transcend a single medium, becoming immersive works of total art.

With a deep love for the orchestra and a lifelong connection to acoustic instruments, I bring both technical fluency and artistic sensitivity to every score I write. Collaboration, communication, and creative partnership are at the core of everything I do.
