Ben Trainor is an established composer and guitarist hailing from Jackson, Tennessee. He loves romantic era composers like Ravel and Rachmaninoff as well as '60s jazz, '90s alternative, and the soundtracks of John Powell and Gareth Coker.
He has worked on numerous short films and theater productions, writing everything from epic orchestral sci-fi to film noir and has even earned awards for his music.
Whether you need an emotive string orchestra or heavy metal action, Ben has a unique ability to adapt to whatever project you throw at him.
As an educator and professional theatre practitioner for over thirty years, I recommend Ben Trainor without reservation. His experience, communication skills, collaborative abilities, reliability, and creativity will be immeasurable assets. [His] compositions added immense depth and professionalism to our project.

[Ben's] work is professional, he's quick and reliable, he's willing to go the extra mile, and he's personally just a really easy guy to get along with. I highly recommend him for any of your audio needs.

Ben is a musical WIZARD and it was such a pleasure to work with him! I'd compare it to working with the likes of John Williams if I'd ever worked with John Williams. He added a whole new level of intrigue and immersion for our audience. 11/10.

The earthtone soundtrack, complete with vinyl needle-and groove-texture, creates the perfect accompaniment...on a rainy Manhattan night. Ben Trainor's original score provides just the right touches for the drama without ever being obtrusive or distracting.
