Brian Pennington

Original Score Composer

Brian was classically trained on the piano from a young age, but a rebel spirit drew him to fall in love with both Ragtime and Jazz; this blend allows him to hop between musical genres on a whim, paying each its due attention and respect. Brian is also a VFX artist and animator, and when he needs a break he home brews beer and runs ultra-marathons in the mountains near his home.
