Karl Schultz

Member since 2026

KARL SCHULTZ is a composer, sound designer, and audio engineer for film, video games, and concert music. Deeply immersed in classical music and video games from an early age, Karl is equally conversant at writing catchy chiptunes as he is writing for a 70-instrument orchestra. Karl’s work seamlessly blends acoustic instruments with modern electronic synthesizers and tuneful melodies to create a musical style for media that is at once contemporary yet assuredly classic. An emerging force in the world of audio for new media, he has created music and sound design for several independent games and films. Educated in and around Silicon Valley, Karl is always up to date on the latest advances in audio technology and software. Karl studied classical composition under David Conte, Michel Merlet, and Michael Johanson, and media composition under Lennie Moore. He holds a professional degree in technology and applied composition and a master’s degree in music composition, both from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, as well as a bachelor’s degree in music from Lewis and Clark College.
