About Sandrine

Currently based in Los Angeles, Swiss-French composer Sandrine Rudaz creates music for film, video games, and theatre. Career honors include a Jerry Goldsmith Award nomination and two Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Her work for the drama short “A” for Alpha (HBO) won Best Original Score at the Garden State Film Festival.

​​

Sandrine worked on more than thirty films among which feature films such as The Shell, Fate of the Night and Night Hunter, and short films such as the world acclaimed Kneeling Sheep. She released her first piano album in 2019. She was selected to attend the 2018 SESAC Workshop with composer John Swihart (How I Met Your Mother). ​

 

Her music utilizes both her European classical piano training and American education to craft stylistically distinct soundscapes; she is at home writing for full orchestra, solo and duo settings, and all ranges in between. Sandrine holds a Master of Music in Film Composition from the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program, a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the Conservatory of Lausanne in Switzerland, and further studied orchestration at Stanford University.

Composer (How I Met Your Mother, Napoleon Dynamite)

Grammy Award Nominee

Sandrine is a marvelous composer whose musical instincts are always "dialed in" to the narrative of the film. Not only does she possess immense natural talent and broad knowledge of musical mechanics, but a discipline and focus that can bring a scene to life.

Having recorded in over 1800 motion picture soundtracks, I believe I have a good criterion for assessing composers. Sandrine has a very bright future in the film music business. She not only composes music in a very relevant style to serve the film, but she can also orchestrate and conduct her music, which many successful composers do not attempt.
