Eldar Baruch

I tailor music scores for dance films (video dance, screendance) and video art. With over a dozen films scored in recent years, I have developed a specialized approach to this unique medium.

Since 2018, I've been a recurring guest composer and collaborator at Films That Move (formerly Experimental Film Virginia), a dance film residency and festival (2018, 2021-2025). My work there was also featured on Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center, NYC.

As a composer, I am fascinated by the relationship between music and visual art. My work is driven by how sound, rhythm, and motion interconnect, and by music’s power to evoke emotion and meaning. I'm drawn to revealing the abstract qualities music can offer while working with the precision that film demands - down to the frame and millisecond.

I welcome collaborations, feel free to reach out via DM.
