Nice to meet you

I'm Karina Pardus, the founder of Coy Compositions, an orchestrator, singer/songwriter, project manager, story teller, and President of the Female Composer Safety League.I'm the Associate Director of Game Sound Con, have been a panelist at the Salt Lake Gaming Convention, and a contributor to the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit.As a mom of 3, I know that managing a family and a business requires a lot of creativity to not only balance my dreams, but to thrive among them.


I believe

Music connects us in very unique ways. When you add music to your project, it creates an emotional landscape that immerses the audience in your story and world from the moment it begins, and keeps them engaged throughout. When live players are involved, they help breathe new life into the experience.I believe that your project deserves that engagement, and your audience deserves that connection. I'm excited to be the mediator of your story.


Orchestration

Having live players perform your music is a powerful experience. I help bring that opportunity to life by ensuring the language of your work is understood clearly and implemented with passion.

Songwriting and Composition

Music projects can often be complex and versatile. If you can hear the music but don't know how to get it down on paper, you need someone who can transcribe the ideas and make them tangible. If you have the music but don't have the words, you need a songwriter. And if you have the story but not the soundtrack, you need a composer. I am here to bring your project to life, because your story deserves to be heard.


Music Copy

When you have all the music on the page, sometimes it can be tedious to get all the formatting and lines and text just right. The good news: I love doing this part! Making sure everything is in its place and ready for print is one of the joys I find in music.

Thank you

For all of your work, your creativity, and your passion that you are sharing. I believe in the power of music to change the world, and I'm so glad to be on this journey with you.
