Recognizable Themes (Leitmotifs)
This is the foundation: themes that make characters, brands and worlds instantly identifiable — emotional, clear, and designed for variation.
Music by Florian Linckus
Story-first scoring with clear arcs — from intimate character moments to large-scale hybrid orchestral writing.
You get a scoring partner who reduces friction in production and post: precise timing, structured feedback handling, and deliverables built for edit and mix.
I’m Florian Linckus — film composer, arranger and orchestrator. I work story-first: I start with emotion, subtext and timing, then shape it into recognizable themes, clear arcs and a hybrid language combining orchestra with modern electronics. The goal is simple: music that lands in the edit and stays reliable in post — clean, structured, deliverable.
You’ll get clarity and momentum: lock musical direction early, build a cue plan that editors can work with, keep feedback and versions organized — and deliver stems/cutdowns that make mixing painless. I’m not delivering “tracks”; I’m delivering a scoring strategy that supports the story and speeds up the pipeline.
A curated selection of clients/partners — a quick “trust scan”.
You’re not hiring a “music supplier”. You’re getting a scoring partner: story-first thinking, clear dramaturgy, clean deliverables — and a workflow that holds up in post.
We set musical direction, leitmotifs and cue architecture so decisions become fast and clear.
Structured feedback + versioning so the score evolves — instead of looping endlessly.
Stems, mixes, cutdowns — built to speed up edits and keep mixes clean.
Music follows beats and breath so scenes read, dialogue stays clear, and emotion lands.
Start with themes (recognition). Then: categories that work in edit and deliver cleanly in post.
This is the foundation: themes that make characters, brands and worlds instantly identifiable — emotional, clear, and designed for variation.
Controlled tension, dread, payoff — carefully built, not just loud. Designed to stay mix- and dialogue-friendly.
Subtext over melodrama: emotional precision and long-form theme development — ideal for episodic arcs.
Energy, drive, momentum — structured arcs that make edits land and payoffs hit, without generic “library” vibes.
Hook → build → drop — structured for editors, with cutdowns, stems and clean dramaturgy baked in.
Distinct sonic identity: modern, brand-clear, delivery-safe (versions/stems) — built to sell without sounding like stock.
Timing, colour, character — musical comedy that supports the scene instead of hijacking it. Memorable motifs included.
Social proof right after the listening check — short, specific, credible.
