ERIC BACKUS

COMPOSER AND SOUND DESIGNER

ABOUT

DSCF8192.jpg

Hi, I'm Eric! I use he/him pronouns.

 

My original music and sound designs for theatre have been heard around the country, Off-Broadway, and in many Chicago theatres including Goodman, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Steppenwolf, Writers, and Northlight. I compose in almost every genre, but take a particular interest in creating classical-rooted music that is modern and unique. My work has also been featured in film, video, podcasts, and other streaming media. I am a proud member of USA829.

Currently based in Chicago, I also work regionally and remotely. I'm able to provide my own accommodations in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, and Austin. 

 

Please scroll down to listen to some of my original music. On this website, you can also look over my theatrical credits, and grab some info about my current projects.

 

I would love to talk about how we can work together. Or perhaps, your favorite film score, biking, or where to get the best donuts around the country. Send me an email!
