Christopher Larkin is an accomplished composer and sound designer, renowned primarily for his impressive work in the video game industry. Born and raised in Australia, Larkin's passion for music was evident from an early age. He pursued his love for music composition and sound design, and it culminated with his studies at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide. Larkin's compositions are characterized by their emotional depth, intricate melodies, and ability to create immersive atmospheres.

Larkin's rise to prominence in video game music came with his evocative score for the indie hit "Hollow Knight," developed by Team Cherry. His work on the game's original soundtrack, as well as the additional music for the "Hollow Knight: Gods & Nightmares" DLC, earned him widespread acclaim for its atmospheric and thematic richness, capturing the essence of the game's dark, yet beautiful, hand-drawn world. Beyond the critical success of "Hollow Knight," Larkin has demonstrated versatility and breadth in his work, composing for a variety of projects including "Barbecue," where he ventured into the realm of film scoring, and the contemplative "Expand," which showcased his talent for creating minimalist, thought-provoking soundscapes. Each new release, such as the "Hollow Knight Piano Collections," further cements Larkin's reputation as a distinctive voice within the world of video game music, capable of bringing players' experiences to deeper levels of engagement and emotion.
