Silas Gupta is a composer and conductor based in Münster, Germany.

He writes for film, television, and the concert hall, and works with an independent orchestra and choir on a regular basis.

 

His work is grounded in the orchestral tradition — shaped early by transcribing scores by hand to understand how the music behind the screen actually works.

​

That curiosity took him to Los Angeles, where he sat in on scoring sessions and studied with working studio musicians, composers, and orchestrators.

The lessons stuck: write for the players in the room, serve the picture, leave nothing on the page that doesn't need to be there.

​

He has composed original music for a range of projects, including a feature documentary that premiered in Los Angeles, and he collaborates regularly with other composers when a score calls for more hands than one.

He's always interested in hearing about new projects.
