MUSIC FOR
VISUAL MEDIA

I’m Ariel Contreras-Esquivel, a composer, orchestrator, and producer from Argentina. My work spans a variety of media, including video games, films, advertisements, and concert music. I’m grateful to have received recognition for my efforts, including the "Best Original Soundtrack" award at Filmapalooza 2023 and the Silver Medal in the "Composer" category at the Global Music Awards 2021.

Throughout my journey, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from talented composers like Timothy Williams, which has enriched my understanding of the craft. As a lead instructor at Universidad Nacional de Rafaela in Argentina, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping the next generation of musicians develop their skills. I also enjoy speaking at workshops, festivals, and educational institutions around the world.

With a commitment to excellence, I aim to inspire and make meaningful contributions to the music and video game industries, creating soundscapes that resonate with audiences.
