Richard Ludlow is an American composer of music for video games, film, and all other forms of visual media.

Born in Detroit, MI and raised in Southern California, Richard is an accomplished violinist and violist who began studying Classical violin at age five. In addition to Classical, he specializes in the Celtic, Jazz, and Bluegrass styles.

Richard has studied privately with renowned violinists and fiddlers including Matt Glaser, Darol Anger, Richard Greene, William Fitzpatrick, Harry Scorzo, Jan Tappan, and most recently Mimi Rabson.

Further, Richard has performed and recorded with numerous ensembles in a wide variety of settings. Last year Richard had the opportunity to perform as a soloist with acclaimed violinst Mark O'Connor and the Berklee World String Orchestra.

At the present, Richard is completing his Bachelors of Music degree at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He is pursuing dual major degrees in Film Scoring (Emphasis in Video Game Scoring) and Electronic Production & Design, with a minor in Acoustics & Electronics.

Though playing music is a transcendent experience in and of itself, Richard's true love of the art lies in the forms of composition and the creation of aural textures, specifically for visual media. "Building the sonic soundscape for an imaginary world, both musically and through sound, is something that has always fascinated me."

While fluent in many genres and styles, Richard specializes in ethnic and world music composition. Most recently, Richard has begun composing music for the online video game Planeshift.
