Ian Scheffer is a composer, sound designer, and audio engineer currently based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, recently graduating with a Master of Arts in Music Technology from Coastal Carolina University.

A synthesizer and noise enthusiast, Ian assisted with Synth Programming for the 2025 Fortnite x Godzilla crossover. Prior to his freelance career, he majored in Music Performance at Reinhardt University. He has scored a number of independent films and stage productions while attending grad school; including “I Am The Woman”, a short film commissioned by the Amelia Island Dance Festival, and “Macbeth” put on by Coastal Carolina University. 

Not one to just be confined to a studio, Ian has begun taking his modular synthesizers outdoors, to “compose” ambient music with the help of the bioelectricity from plants, leading to the first of many works “Glaciers of The Southern Sky”.

In an effort to bring more of the film industry to South Carolina, in partnership with Persimmon Lane Studios, he has started the Grand Strand Film Orchestra and Choir; catering to Indie and Micro-Budget composers, to make quality recordings of real players attainable.
