About me

Let’s get to know each other better. My name is Giorgos Lorantakis . I am a composer, musician, producer, multi-instrumentalist and audio production professional.

I was born in a place with a very deep history associated with grace and art… Place where democracy first appeared… Where the bright minds of bygone eras live on the lips of contemporaries, like their creations – nowadays! And as you might have guessed – this is Greece, my hometown – Athens.

Just like each of us has our own character – music has it’s own. Especially high-end trailer music and it is one of the toughest things for a composer to produce.

I showed a great passion for music when I was a child and started composing music very early on. So a few years later, in 1989, I began to compose music for some groups of the Commodore Amiga demo scene. That was a great stage of my life, during that period I won several music contests and learnt a lot about making music for a specific project, working with other people, and to get the job done in a hurry due to deadlines.

In 1996 I completed my first video game work, composing music for the video game Cyber Police (Balance Group/Dinamic Multimedia).
