Today’s guest, Stephanie Economou, is an award-winning composer for film & television. You’ve heard her music on huge films like “The Martian” and “Mulan”, hit TV shows “The Chair”, “Whiskey Cavalier,” and “Jupiter’s Legacy,” and one of the biggest video games of the year, “Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla.”

She is widely recognized for her uniquely hybridized compositional voice, in which she pulls from her extensive study of all musical styles —including rock, classical, folk, and experimental music — and synthesizes it all across a rich palette of electronic and acoustic sounds.

She is a graduate of the New England Conservatory and USC, and a resident board member for the Alliance for Women Film Composers, where she has been a powerful advocate for female voices in film. Please welcome composer, violinist, and musician Stephanie Economou.
