About Edouard

When the world’s biggest game studios need music that moves millions of souls, defines franchises, and elevates storytelling, they turn to Edouard Brenneisen. A sought-after composer for video games, film, and television, Edouard has crafted the soundscapes of some of the most iconic and best-selling titles in the industry.

His work spans multi-billion dollar franchises and global hits, including Overwatch 2 (Blizzard), Call of Duty: Mobile (Activision), MultiVersus (Warner Bros.), PUBG Mobile/Game for Peace (Tencent), Honor of Kings, and League of Legends (Riot Games), where he played a pivotal role as Lead Composer, shaping the game’s musical identity across champions, skins, cinematics, and game modes.

His contributions to these massive franchises have earned him multiple HMMA and G.A.N.G. Award nominations, and in 2023, he took home the HMMA Award for Best Video Game Score for his work on New World (Amazon Games).

Beyond gaming, his music has enhanced projects as varied as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Micro Monsters 3D (David Attenborough documentary), Cybergeddon (Anthony Zuiker mini-series), Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, and the 48th Annie Awards Ceremony.

With a signature style that blends orchestral depth, electronic innovation, and global influences, Edouard’s compositions don’t just accompany stories—they amplify them. A Berklee graduate with French roots, he is passionate about crafting melodies that move people on a profound level.

"As a composer, I map out the human heart—observing, sustaining, coaxing, magnifying, expressing, and ultimately creating emotion."

Currently, Edouard lives in Los Angeles with his wife Billye, daughter June, and their two magical dogs, Potter and Bear.

Edouard is represented by Sabrina Hutchinson at Defiant Talent Management.

Dark Star Thresh Behind the Scenes

“The most powerful stories are born at the crossroads of visionary and curious minds. The greatest moments of my career have been shaped by these collaborations, where diverse perspectives unite to create something far beyond what any one of us could imagine alone.”

EDOUARD BRENNEISEN

My first creative act was simple but transformative: plugging in my electric guitar. That single moment sparked a lifelong journey that would soon lead me to formal study, though the instinctive drive to explore and experiment has never left me. Over the years, I've come to thrive at the intersection of orchestral music, world influences, and electronic soundscapes—melding seemingly contrasting elements to craft stories that resonate deeply.

I draw inspiration from anything that stirs my imagination. Whether it's the evocative compositions of Ravel, the cinematic power of James Newton Howard, the raw energy of Nine Inch Nails, or the transcendent beauty of Anouar Brahem, every influence adds a new dimension to my creative voice. Through this fusion, I aim to create music that feels both timeless and boldly innovative, connecting audiences to experiences far beyond the notes themselves.
