Bio by Brit Seaton
Brendan Angelides is a music producer and BAFTA nominated composer. His multi-genre records have been released on record labels Interscope, Ninja Tune, Warp, Planet Mu, Milan and his own imprint Ancestor. NPR's Bob Boilen described him as "part musician, part magician" to introduce his 2015 Tiny Desk Concert performance.
In 2024, he was nominated for a BAFTA award for his score on Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage. Television series include the entire seven seasons of Showtime's Billions, Showtime's Super Pumped, Netflix's 13 Reasons Why and Netflix's Echoes. Most recently, Angelides co-composed the score for Darren Aronofsky's Postcard From Earth, alongside his collaborators in the Echo Society, which is showing for two years at the Las Vegas Sphere. In 2019 and 2020, he scored the motion picture, "Naked Singularity" (Ridley Scott Presents, 3311) and the VR experience, "Minimum Mass," which is an official selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival and winner of the 2020 Annecy International Animation Film Festival for "Best VR."
In 2015, he created FeelHarmonic, which connects creatives, from a variety of fields, to collaborate on bringing the deaf community new ways to experience sound. They develop hands-on events that engage and excite while fostering a sense of exploration, communication and connection. These events are brought to schools, educational institutions and communal centers.

“The Assassin’s Creed Mirage soundtrack is powerful. Watching the orchestra work towards the climax of one of the main pieces that was being recorded in the Power Station studio, I saw gooseflesh prick up on the arms of almost everyone in the room.”
THE GUARDIAN
“Composer Brendan Angelides talks with Rick Damigella about the music of Assassin’s Creed.”
CNN
"..Composer Eskmo (whose pulsating score has never sounded better) to the entire cast, “Billions” has served up a miniature masterpiece of ethical conundrums..."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Props to Aronofsky for tapping the composers of L.A. collective the Echo Society to create a score that brings an industrial richness and atonality to the experience."
LA TIMES
"Angelides’ sterile yet somehow soulful contribution to “Billions” perfectly matches the overall mood, in a way that heightens the show’s psychological anxiety and the frosty exchanges between characters."
THE WASHINGTON POST
“Electrifyingly enveloping…mind-melting invention...”
BBC MUSIC
"The Echo Society Is Pushing Classical Music into the Future"
NOISEY / VICE
"SOL is a widescreen experience...acres of space for the trickle of field recordings and weaving of string sections and piano tinkering."
DAZED
“Eskmo has created his own sound."
FUTURE SEQUENCE
“Ethereal and very poetic in nature..“
