Henry Ruppe, Composer

I’ve played music all my life - from piano lessons as a kid, to playing guitar in the school show choir, to performing hundreds of shows with original and cover groups, to playing in the pit orchestra on cruise ships, to finally settling down as a freelance composer.

In addition to this “real world” experience, courses from Berklee in subjects including jazz theory and synthesis have further enriched my musical and technological expertise.

I strive to constantly improve the skill of telling stories with music. In the virtually limitless world of digital audio workstations, the sounds chosen matter as much as the chords and melodies used. The challenge of crafting and delivering tracks that connect with the emotions of the audience motivates me to continue to try new approaches and broaden my skill set.
