Mariano Ruz
🎵 Mariano Ruz – Composer for Games & Visual Media
🎧 Based in San Antonio, Chile | 🇨🇱
I’m a composer and sound artist with a background in jazz, popular music, and film scoring. Over the past decade, I’ve created original music for short films, documentaries, and more recently, independent video games. My approach blends strong melodic writing, rhythmic experimentation, and narrative sensitivity, adapting to each project’s unique tone and mechanics.
Some of my works have been recognized internationally:
-
🥇 Gold Winner – FENIX Award (Composition, 2025)
-
🏆 Best Original Soundtrack – CortoCircuiti Film Festival (Italy, 2025)
-
🥁 “Voz de Trompeta” – Pulsar Award 2024, performed by the University of Chile Big Band, conducted by Carl Hammond
Past collaborations include award-winning documentaries (La Mirada Obstinada, Pueblo en Huelga, Gaviota Aleteante), and I’m now fully focused on interactive audio and game scoring. I’m especially interested in projects with strong atmosphere, emotional storytelling, or experimental mechanics.
🎮 Currently working as a composer for indie games, and open to new collaborations. Let’s build something immersive together.
