Marcus Leitner is a composer and electronic musician based in Berkeley, CA.

A skilled synthesist and life long piano and violin player, Marcus has developed from this rich background a distinct voice blending electronic and acoustic instruments into complex and evolving soundscapes. At home working in the studio, leading orchestras, and performing live, this versatility has allowed Marcus to build a varied repertoire as a composer, working on short films from comedies to sci-fi thrillers and performing live dark ambient music.

Born and raised in Berkeley, California, Marcus studied at the University of California, Santa Cruz, majoring in Western Art Music and minoring in Electronic Music. He is excited to further his skills as a composer by pursuing his Masters in Screen Scoring at USC this fall.
