Up-close photo on fingers playing the piano keys with intimate lighting and a gentle camera blur. The image is placed on the left of the gallery, with a photo of the cello bow on the right to showcase the composer's multi-instrumental creative approach.
Jeremy Plays a Cello Harmonic in Red Lighting
Up close action shot of the cello bow hold. The hair of the bow passes smoothly over the string as it dissapears into an unfocused blur. The mother of pearl tip of the bow is in sharp focus, with the musician's fingers and nails uncomfortably close. Paired with the hands playing the piano on the left of this gallery, it showcases the composers' multi-instrumental capabilities. The tone is artistic, and the colors moody and natural.
Background image of the cello's shadow as the bow prepares to strike the string. The shadow is cast on a moody concrete wall, and the studio lighting captures the dust and blurred motion in a cinematic way. The image provides a dramatic background to the Composer's short bio and navigation buttons.

Jeremy Zerbe Composer Professional Headshot

"I work closely with creators to reveal the narrative pulse of a project, using music.
With a background in contemporary composition and cello recording, my approach delivers a detailed sound and a human touch. Clients often come to me for scores that create space, clarify structure, and communicate a clear artistic identity."

Testimonials

"Jeremy is an attentive listener and a true artist, since we started collaborating in 2022. Whether he’s working in person or remotely, he always delivers a sound that feels aligned with the world I’m building.

 

In my recent documentary and album (topping R&B charts at #2 on Apple Music), Jeremy made the vision a reality by enhancing the project with orchestral colors. His film score, album intro, and transition tracks were well received by audiences and added a special warmth to the experience. He is a resourceful artist who has access to a network of talented musicians spanning genres, and I look forward to creating and releasing more into the world with him–and affirm that investing in him is a worthwhile investment for you."
