I'm so excited to welcome on this next composer whose work includes the HBO Max series Looney Tunes Cartoons; the DreamWorks series Dragons: Rescue Riders, and the viral animated hit Sidewalk, directed by Celia Bullwinkel.

Born in Baton Rouge, LA and raised in the midwest, this composer credits the public school arts program in St. Charles, IL with helping him imagine a life making music. With an eye on joining the Chicago music community, he studied music at Northwestern University, also dabbling in literature, computer science and sound design. His time after school was spent performing in bands and collaborating with directors and improvising actors.

He further segued into scoring to picture as a fellow at the Sundance Institute Composers Lab at Skywalker Sound and the BMI Conducting Workshop. He has since operated studios from both coasts working on films, television and interactive projects.

His television work includes scoring the FX series Baskets, starring Zach Galifianakis; the Netflix series Special from Jim Parsons’ That’s Wonderful Productions; the Adult Swim series Three Busy Debras from Amy Poehler's Paper Kite Productions; Sky One’s Sick of It from Richard Yee & Karl Pilkington; and the main title music for the IFC series Documentary Now! starring Fred Armisen and Bill Hader.

On the feature film side, he has scored the Netflix film Happy Anniversary from writer/director Jared Stern, Good Enough from writer/director AnnaRose King, and Beneath Us from writer/director Max Pachman.

An early adopter of new technologies, he created the interactive ambisonic music and sound design for Google's Earth VR, which won a Cannes Lion for innovation and was recognized by Ars Technica as "VR's killer app."

The Composer is... Joshua Moshier
