Thibault Chavanis is a London-based composer, filmmaker, songwriter and professional musician specializing in films, video games, TV and other media. Renowned for his contribution to the Horror, Sci-fi & Fantasy genre, his knowledge also include sound design and especially distinguish himself by weaving elements of sound directly into his scores—often using sonic textures as instruments to create powerful, immersive atmospheres.
Originally from France, he studied cinema at La Sorbonne and music at the American School of Modern Music in Paris, before advancing his skills at Music Academy International (MAI) in Nancy. His formal education culminated in a master’s degree in Composing for Film and TV from the National Film and Television School (NFTS) in London
Drawing on his hard rock / metal roots, Thibault infuses his compositions with a raw, driving energy while exploring a wide range of textures combining traditional orchestrations and subliminal sonic experimentations, pushing the boundaries of traditional scoring.
Throughout his career, Thibault has immersed himself in a variety of high-profile projects, gaining invaluable experience from his involvement in major video game franchises such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Ghost of Tsushima. These collaborations afforded him the rare opportunity to work in some of the world’s most iconic studios, including Air and Abbey Road Studios.
More recently, he signed the score for the feature film Kill Your Lover, composed the theme for extreme sport events such as the IWWF World Water Ski Racing Championship, and continued to expand his global reach by composing the official theme of the diplomatic event World Protocol Matters, recognised by the United Nations.
Thibault is also involved in innovative projects that integrate music with cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality, reflecting his drive to push creative boundaries and deliver dynamic soundscapes.
