01 · The studio
Music in service of the vision.
The brief is only the beginning. The real work is finding the emotional architecture beneath it—and giving that world a musical language of its own.
Paxin Tenebris is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer based in Queens, New York. His classically informed practice brings expressive strings into conversation with electronic and cinematic production.
His work includes composition for production houses such as Blumhouse and violin recording for studios and artists across Los Angeles, New York, and remote collaborations.

Winner
Best Music · Chicago Horror Film Festival 2022
An award-winning score for horror with a human pulse.
A disgraced podcaster follows a widowed farmer into the woods in search of a monster—and finds a story about grief, reinvention, and an uneasy bond between two men with something to prove.
Paxin’s original score holds the contradictions at the center of Todd Greenlee’s feature: intimate character work, off-kilter humor, slow-burn unease, and the trap-driven momentum of its final act.
Protect the slow burn
Create space for character and uncertainty before the film reveals its full hand.
Carry the tonal turn
Connect grief, dark comedy, and creature-feature tension without breaking the film’s singular voice.
Drive the final act
Let the musical language expand as the story becomes faster, stranger, and more dangerous.
