Raised by a family of physicists in Livermore, CA and trained in the Screen Scoring Department at Berklee College of Music, Jake K. Siders is a synth programmer, musical sound designer and composer specializing in horror and science fiction. Fascinated by fear of the unknown, Jake is particularly interested in work in the Lovecraftian/cosmic horror genre. Through synthesis and musical sound design, he creates compelling new soundscapes that your audience won’t have heard before.

​

Using modular synths, processed field recordings, unusual impulse responses, contact microphones and more, Jake creates custom score sound design assets (audio files, loops, Kontakt patches, etc.) for media composers on a project to project basis.

He also works with synthesizer developers, creating exciting and deep presets for instruments like Anukari, the 3D physics-based software synthesizer.

​

As a composer, Jake has worked with filmmakers to create highly atmospheric original scores for their films that have screened at genre festivals across the country. He has received 2 Best Score awards at Las Po Film Fest.

Jake’s filmic influences include the films of Moorhead & Benson, David Prior’s The Empty Man, Mike Flanagan’s work, Kubrick’s The Shining, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, and Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy.
