Sam Dillard

Sam Dillard is a versatile composer and arranger who’s carved out a niche breathing new orchestral life into video game and pop culture soundtracks. Known for projects like *Chrono Cinematica* and *Zelda Cinematica*, he specializes in reimagining nostalgic game themes into lush, cinematic experiences—from the haunting twists of *Morphogenetic Lamentation* (Zero Escape) to the adventurous swells of *Xeno Cross* (Chrono Cross/Xenogears). His work often blends reverence for source material with bold, symphonic storytelling, collaborating with ensembles like the Videri String Quartet to fuse retro gaming nostalgia with live orchestral grandeur. Whether diving into Star Trek’s iconic themes or resurrecting deep cuts like *Crystalis Symphony*, Dillard’s releases feel like love letters to the soundtracks that shaped generations of fans.
